There should be no excuses or hard luck stories.
Instead, it should serve as a warning to Jurgen Klopp after Brentford took Liverpool apart. This felt like a defeat which should underline the huge task facing Klopp because Liverpool looked an ageing team in need of a major rebuild if they are to remain successful.
Brentford deserve huge credit for another sensational performance in a season which has seen them beat Manchester United, Manchester City and now mighty Liverpool. And they managed this one without injured top scorer Ivan Toney.
