Former Liverpool player Stan Collymore believes the Reds put in their worst ever performance at Villa Park on Friday night.
Although they have a fairly decent record away against Aston Villa, Liverpool have suffered in the West Midlands at times, infamously losing 7-2 to the Villains under Jurgen Klopp.
But although that will forever go down as one of the Reds’ most embarrassing defeats, Collymore has claimed that Friday’s dismal 4-2 defeat was an even worse performance.

Collymore slams Liverpool performance
There truly was nothing to redeem Liverpool from what became one of their worst nights of a nightmare season on Friday.
Collymore could see it, and although he is a former Red, the 55-year-old is also a boyhood Villa fan, and so had a fairly unique vantage point with which to see the game from.
What he saw, according to a post on X at the full-time whistle, was Liverpool’s worst ever performance in front of the Villa supporters.
“As a former Red, and having watched too many Liverpool masterclasses at Villa Park (and played in a couple), that could be the worst Liverpool performance in B6 I’ve seen,” Collymore said.
“And I’d include the 7-2 in that. No idea what the team is trying to do and that’s a very, very rare thing to say about any Liverpool team.”
Arne Slot is slowly piling up nightmare statistics as the season draws to a close, with every week seemingly reaching a new nadir.
The only small mercy for Liverpool supporters is that there is only one game left of this dismal campaign left to endure.
