Image source, Getty ImagesSaturday's horror show against Bournemouth doesn't mean a turning point in the season - an eight-game unbeaten run had to end at some point - but it does raise questions about the Premier League conclusion.
Just 15 matches remain and expectations (hopes and dreams?) have risen from being happy with a midtable finish to the prospect of a place in the Champions League. But, as the manager has continually affirmed, you can only concentrate on one game at a time.
As I've said before, you often learn more from defeat than victory. And with the transfer window closing in just a week, there's a real possibility that Nottingham Forest will strengthen for the run in; it seems a striker is very much in the thinking with the likes of Yoane Wissa and Matheus Cunha both linked.
Losing 5-0 is a complete anomaly to this side, who've been so defensively sound since last summer. As it stands, Arsenal and Liverpool are still the only two teams who have conceded fewer goals. But allowing the likes of an in-form Justin Kluivert to run at us was never going to end well - just ask Newcastle United who were walloped at home just a week earlier.
That same Newcastle side sit just three points behind us in the table, with Manchester City finally making up ground, while Chelsea still blow hot and cold but are level with the Cherries, four points below. It's getting increasingly competitive at the top.
So, after a bad day at the office, the Reds need to dust themselves off and get back to what they've done so well all season. Confidence, organisation, unity and belief are increasingly the words most associated with Nuno Espirito Santo's team - and that's precisely what they need to see them to the finish line. The best we hope is still to come.
