Arne Slot's sacking is now finally imminent after yet another disaster.
Those of us who have been beating the drums of the Dutchman's failures for most of the campaign will not have been surprised by yet another appalling Liverpool performance.
But for a lot of more optimistic supporters, the game against Tottenham was an awakening to the truth.
When was the last time Liverpool have truly played good football? When was the last time we were actually entertained and not bored to death by Slot's football?
You'd have to go back a very long time. For the last year or so, Liverpool have regressed. They have become one of the worst defending champions in recent memory and standards have fallen off a cliff.
Slot's team are simply not good enough and finally people are realising that this is on the head-coach and no one else.
You can only blame the players and the referees for so long.
Slot's reluctance to accept responsibility yet again over the weekend showed that he is finished in his role. Anfield's boos, which was not a minority but a majority of fans showed you all you need to know.
In the fans' eyes, Slot is not good enough.
By every objective data metric, Liverpool haven't be good enough. Their performances have been so below par that people simply don't want to go to Anfield anymore.
Under Slot, fans are voting with their feet and their mouth, they boo and they leave the ground early. Under Klopp, he made sure even when times were tough that the fans stayed behind the team.
Slot doesn't have the same charisma, and he doesn't have the man-management skills that Klopp had.
Liverpool are heading towards a disaster if he stays in charge. Which is why it's now inevitable that he's going to be sacked.
Tom Werner was in attendance at Anfield on Sunday. He will have seen the reaction and the performance first hand. Liverpool's hierarchy will know this is not good enough - they are no fools.
A defeat against Galatasaray at Anfield on Wednesday will be enough to push Slot over the edge. If the Reds are eliminated from the Champions League - change will be inevitable.
But what Tottenham made clear is that even if somehow Slot's side find a way through their Turkish opponents, he won't be here for long.
His departure from the club is imminent - if not this week, he'll be gone by the end of the season.
It's now very clear, Slot is not the long-term head-coach of Liverpool Football Club. He is not fit for that role.
