Blackpool boss Ian Holloway believes Liverpool's players are struggling with the pressure at Anfield this season.
Holloway believes Liverpool's players are struggling under the weight of expectation, unlike his own squad who are playing with such freedom.
"We are so far behind the smallest club in the history of this league; we've the smallest budget, we pay the worst money and we have a mountain to climb," he said.
"But that comes with its own bonuses because my lads don't feel under pressure.
"They don't have the expectation, that awful cross to bear that 'we used to be this', or 'we are this or that', which Liverpool players have to deal with.
"In the second half they got over that but first half you could see them suffering with it."
