  "account": "Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City at Anfield, marking their first Premier League loss in three home matches this season, a first in five years. The team's poor performance led former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock to claim that the Reds are \"an easy touch\" at the moment. Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt suggested that the intimidating atmosphere in the stadium, which once contributed to Liverpool's success, has diminished. The team has scored just seven goals this season, the lowest tally among any seven teams in the league.",
  "summary": "Liverpool's struggles at Anfield continue as Iraola still awaits his first Premier League win at Anfield.",
