Liverpool’s sorry defeat to Arsenal on Saturday left them seven points adrift of a Champions League berth, with fourth place Manchester City playing their game in hand tonight at Crystal Palace.
Fans were dismayed at their second tepid performance against a top four rival in as many games. Angry and bemused, they took to social media to vent their spleens and share their sorrows.
George Riley felt it was all too easy for Arsenal, as Liverpool failed to turn up:
I genuinely think Arsenal will have had tougher training games than this

Mark Philip Kenny showed his age by harking back to better days:
Fortunately I'm old enough to remember Easter games being the time when we surged ahead to win the title. Now I have to watch that today

Danny Gallagher agreed, with a nervous eye on Wednesday’s FA Cup clash with Blackburn Rovers:
Not to be melodramatic, but another error strewn performance in the cup on Wednesday & our season is completely over, dead in the water #LFC

Kauser Soze pointed to the lack of depth on the sub’s bench:
We are so out of ideas. This is when you look to your bench Brendan. Oh that's right, you can't

But nothing could console Margel Abasalie, who’d completely lost it by the time former red Charlie Adam scored his wonder goal against Chelsea:
