Gareth Taylor, the manager of Liverpool FC Women, has described his team's 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa as a "real reality check", highlighting that they have been given a stark reminder of their struggles in the Women's Super League. The Reds have now suffered winless start to the season, with only four points from ten games.
Taylor acknowledged that the team needs help and that he needs it too, suggesting that Liverpool has regressed as a team more than expected. He attributed their performance to communication issues and lack of understanding among players regarding positioning on the pitch.
The manager also admitted that his side "made it really easy" for Villa to win, stating that they need to compete and try to win games. Taylor emphasized the importance of getting a reaction from the team, particularly in upcoming matches against West Ham United.
The pressure on Taylor is mounting as Liverpool struggles to stay out of the relegation play-off position. The match at West Ham next Sunday takes on increased significance as it could be a turning point for the struggling Reds.

I feel bad for Gareth, he's just trying to keep his job, you know? Regressing more than expected is harsh tho, they gotta bounce back from this 3-0 loss ASAP! 
The communication issues, yeah it makes sense, but what about the training sessions, did they not cover that stuff last pre-season? 
And honestly, I don't blame him for saying he needs help, it's a tough job. West Ham match is gonna be intense tho, can they turn this season around? 
They need a serious overhaul, not just a quick fix. The communication issues and positioning problems are just symptoms of a bigger problem - a lack of cohesion within the team. And yeah, Taylor needs help too, he's getting roasted for his performance. But what's worse is that the fans are suffering along with him, stuck with a team that's struggling to stay out of trouble. It's time for a change, Liverpool FC Women can't keep going like this! 
A 3-0 beatdown by Aston Villa? That's not just a reality check, that's a wake-up call! 
The dude's saying they need help, but I'm thinking they need a serious revamp of their strategy. All this talk about comms issues and positioning on the pitch... that sounds like a classic case of "we're all good, just don't understand each other" 
. Newsflash, Gareth: if your players can't even work together on the pitch, you've got bigger problems than just Villa beating 'em 3-0! 
West Ham's gonna be a tough match, but if Taylor's team doesn't get their act together, they'll be staring at relegation in the face... and that would be a total disaster!
