    Alistair Lowe: #bbcfootball, external Watford tremendous! Liverpool dire. Never in the game. Just goes to underline the scale of Klopp's job, which he knew already.

    Into the last knockings at a jubilant Vicarage Road. What a win for Watford - their first over Liverpool since 1999. 

  7. 'What does Can even do?'published at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2015

    Watford 3-0 Liverpool

    Ex-Liverpool midfielder Jimmy Case was already angry at Emre Can and after that third goal he's absolutely furious.

    "It was Can's fault yet again - he lost possession in the build up to the goal and he nearly cost Liverpool earlier," he says.

    "He went racing over the far side like a bull in a china shop.

    "I don't understand what he does in the middle - he doesn't dominate, he doesn't pass well and he has no vision."

    If you were naming the PFA team of the year now how many players would you have from Leicester, Watford, Crystal Palace and Everton?

    Odion Ighalo has been brilliant and he comes off to a huge ovation.

  9. Ighalo seals itpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2015

    Watford 3-0 Liverpool

    A really, really good goal to cap a stunning display from Watford. Etienne Capoue, Mr. perpetual motion in the midfield , starts it by winning the ball back high up the pitch, Troy Deeney picks out sub Valon Behrami on the right and his first-time cross is headed between the legs of Adam Bogdan by goal machine Odion Ighalo.

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    Christian Benteke wastes an attack as he is offside, so frustrating to see a striker do that when it's unnecessary. Into the last 10 minutes, Liverpool need to score now if they are to get anything from the game.

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    Just over 10 minutes remain, Liverpool continue to see the lion's share of the ball but still continue to threaten sporadically at best.

    Hornets defender Miguel Britos does go into the book for a tug on Christian Benteke.

    It's fair to say Mamadou Sakho has not enjoyed his afternoon. But is all the criticism warranted?

    Alan North: #bbcfootball, external Sakho has to be the most awkward and clumsy centre half I have seen since Titus Bramble. Simply dreadful.

    Porl Richard Thomas: Criticism of Sakho is ridiculous. 1st game back, not fully fit, having to do 99.9% defensive work alone against 2 good strikers #bbcfootball, external

    Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino are OFF, Christian Benteke and Jordon Ibe are on for Liverpool. They have just under 20 minutes. 

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 71 mins

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    A tired clearance from Miguel Britos is played straight to Emre Can 25 yards from goal, he takes a touch and then fires in a shot which Heurelho Gomes turns away for a corner. That comes to nothing as Jurgen Klopp looks like making more changes.

  20. Bogdan redemption?published at 14:58 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2015

    Jimmy Case on BBC Radio Merseyside sees a glimmer of hope for Liverpool.

    "That save from Bogdan has given Liverpool a chance to get back into this game," he says.

    "But only if they can score the next goal."
