As bad as it has has been for Liverpool, there is a line they know that mustn't be crossed.
Defeat at home to Everton, and a defeat in the manner that has been seen recently, would have represented a new nadir this season. But in the end they never looked like losing at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp's men ran out 2-0 winners over their neighbours and in truth they could have scored more, with Mohamed Salah firing them in front from a superb counter-attack he tucked in Darwin Nunez's cross.
