Red steamroller: Attack vs defence as Liverpool go through the gears
It was easy. Then again, it is easy most weeks now. There used to be a time, not so long ago, when Liverpool had a habit of fluffing straightforward opportunities but that is no longer the case.
One-sided days such as this at Anfield, particularly for visitors from outside the top six, when it is effectively attack versus defence, are becoming the norm.
This, clearly, is progress. Liverpool have historically been strong at Anfield but there have been times in the Premier League era when weaker opponents — Swindon, Barnsley, Wigan and Hull — have plundered a result against the odds. Now, they simply get steamrollered.
