If Jurgen Klopp still believes Liverpool's 3-0 loss at Brighton last month to be the worst performance of any of his teams during 1000-plus games of management, he might eventually come to file this one at Wolves alongside it.
The shortlist for that most dubious of accolades is growing by the week. For the second successive Premier League away game, Liverpool shipped three goals without reply and walked away having been thoroughly, deservedly humbled.
And if that reverse at the Amex Stadium on January 14 can at least be mitigated by the identity of a free-flowing Brighton in full bloom of perhaps their greatest-ever period as a top-level club, there were few disclaimers for Liverpool to cling to here at Molineux.
