    Mamadou Sakho will go to sleep seeing Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo in his dreams. Or nightmares.

    Sakho has the ball at the back, Deeney closes him down and wins it from him and is in on goal again, only a slide from Lucas brings it to a halt...

    Plenty of Liverpool gripes out there, but also plenty of well-deserved praise for Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo.

    The Watford strike pair have tormented the Liverpool defence.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 66 mins

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    And another good save as Liverpool have their brightest moment. A long pass from left to right finds Jordan Henderson on the corner of the area, he breaks a tackle and then hits a dipping shot on the bounce which Heurelho Gomes turns over the top. A goal now and all three results will be on the cards...

    With Martin Skrtel off, Mamadou Sakho is bearing the brunt of Liverpool frustrations now. Not sure the comparison is entirely fair on Bambi though...

    Simon Worthington: Liverpools defence is like Bambi on Ice today #bbcfootball, external

    Ben Hulme: Sakho has about as much grace on the ball as Bambi - nearly have a heart attack every time he's on the ball #WATLIV, external#LFC, external#bbcfootball, external

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 63 mins

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    Great save! Adam Bogdan goes some way to redeeming himself with a really superb stop but Odion Ighalo should have secured the points for the Hornets.

    Mamadou Sakho slips over under no real pressure to pave the way to goal for Ighalo, he's in one-on-one, the goal is gaping - but Bogdan spreads himself to make a flying save. Has that kept his team in it?

    Adam Lallana heads a long punt wide as ironic cheers greet an overcued cross from Alberto Moreno.

    Liverpool having loads of possession with zero of the danger. Not unlike Manchester United, dare I say...

    The Mirror's John Cross is a big fan of Watford striker Odion Ighalo's flair at Vicarage Road today.

    It Liverpool's not-so-natty knitwear the root of their pre-Christmas woes?

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    That is brilliant from Odion Ighalo! He leaves Mamadou Sakho on his backside with a brilliant turn into the penalty area and then a flurry of red bodies just about scramble the ball away from danger. Liverpool's defending is woeful, but some of the Watford attacking play is divine. 

  12. 'Terrible from Henderson'published at 14:44 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2015

    Jimmy Case is furious with Jordan Henderson after his tame cross.

    He asks: "How do you even manage to give it straight to the keeper in that situation?"

    BBC Radio Merseyside commentator Ian Kennedy agrees: "It was an absolutely terrible cross from Henderson."

  13. Postpublished at 56 mins

    Watford 2-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool are leaving two on two at the back and Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney fancy their chances on the counter-attack. Liverpool's two just about squirt the ball away as Deeney looked like running in on goal for number three.

    Don't go anywhere, there are goals in this.

    I'm not too sure what formation Liverpool are playing now, but it's at least five up front. Jordan Henderson is on the right wing, he has men over but can only float a cross at Heurelho Gomes in the Watford goal. Disappointing.

    Adam Bogdan comes for a long ball forwards - I can't watch - but he just about scoops it up this time. Liverpool instantly attack and Roberto Firmino is denied by the offside flag. Next goal feels massive.

    Divock Origi is next to threaten for Liverpool, stretching the defence like Odion Ighalo in the first half. This time, though, he can't get a shot away and on target. Jurgen has had a half-time word or two...
