With about 10 minutes left to play at Anfield, Andy Robertson turned to the Kop and gestured for the fans to calm down. It was that sort of afternoon.
The place was riddled with anxiety, probably a delayed-onset symptom of the Goodison Park hangover after Liverpool contrived to toss away a lead in the 98th minute on Wednesday.
On the pitch, the players did not look too much calmer than those on the terraces. Their second-half performance was pockmarked by loose passes and half-hearted challenges, a lackadaisical mood spreading through the team.
If Wolves had a bit more quality about them – aside from Matheus Cunha they never really looked close to scoring – they would have got a point if not more.
