Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesLiverpool FCLiverpool's fans are struggling to hide their frustrations anymore amid what has been a dismal season, and Ryan Gravenberch's comments after the Chelsea draw won't help mattersRyan Gravenberch hit out at Liverpool fans after the draw with Chelsea(Image: Getty Images)The season that feels like it will never end still has some tricks up its sleeve.Saturday’s draw at home to Chelsea was just the latest in a long line of dismal results for Liverpool. The way things are going, you can’t rule out that it might not have been the last low point.READ MORE: How many points Liverpool needs for Champions League qualification after Chelsea setbackREAD MORE: Liverpool's final fixtures compared to Aston Villa and Bournemouth and how many points neededIt shouldn’t come as a surprise then that the Anfield crowd is growing restless.
What was once a fortress is increasingly looking inviting for visiting sides, with the Reds having given up 19 points at home, and there’s still one more game to go.Even with the dull and turgid displays that have been offered up this season, the boos that greeted the full-time whistle against Chelsea still weren’t unanimous. Protests against the club’s hierarchy have only just ended after the climbdown on ticket prices, but the offerings on the pitch have been nothing short of woeful at times.Fans have seen their side surrender to Manchester United as part of a long-awaited double for the Red Devils, lose 3-0 and 4-1 in back-to-back games against Nottingham Forest and PSV Eindhoven, draw at home to Burnley and Leeds while scoring just one goal, give Igor Tudor his only point during a disastrous spell in charge of Tottenham, and now end Chelsea’s freefall, even when the Blues have seemingly put all their eggs in the FA Cup final basket.Mohamed Salah warned Liverpool about standards dropping before the draw with Chelsea(Image: (Photo by Gaspafotos/MB Media/Getty Images))If Gravenberch thinks Liverpool’s fans aren’t entitled to feel frustrated after all of that, then quite frankly, he’s at the wrong club.It’s not the first time there has been some push back against a clearly disgruntled fan base either.
Dominik Szoboslzai might have had a little more reason for his outburst, given he is one of a very select group who will emerge from this season with his reputation enhanced, but if Liverpool’s players can seriously turn around and say this is the best they can offer, then the standards have truly plummeted.It’s no wonder Mohamed Salah is warning his employers about a drop in the club’s principles before he bids farewell. The Egyptian has always set the highest of examples for his teammates, which led Liverpool to once again become one of England and Europe’s powerhouses.Judging by Gravenberch’s comments, those standards have already dropped, which gives a worrying view of the future.James Findlater James Findlater is a Content Editor for Liverpool.com, bringing nearly a decade of experience to his coverage of Liverpool FC and the wider football landscape.
