Liverpool were taken apart by Watford yesterday as they fell to a 3-0 loss in the Premier League.
It ended the remarkable unbeaten run that Jurgen Klopp's charges have been on this season.
Two goals from Ismaïla Sarr and a third from Troy Deeney completed a convincing win for the home side.
And analysing the game on Match of the Day, two BBC pundits flagged up the same worrying sign for the Reds.
Jermaine Jenas said: "There was this body language in every player that appeared as though they were very relaxed, thinking ‘it’s Watford, maybe we’ll get away with one again.’
"It was the complete opposite to what we are so used to seeing from a Liverpool side. You don’t usually see a whole team play as poorly as they did.
"Usually you get two or three within a team, especially in a team that are soon-to-be champions.
“They were just off it. The front three were non-existent. You saw nothing of [Mohamed] Salah, [Sadio] Mane and [Roberto] Firmino.
"They were almost panicking at times. They had no composure with the way Watford were getting to them. It had a massive impact on them."
He added: "All of these things that have been piled into one performance have to be looked at, as you are not used to seeing it.”
And Alan Shearer backed up the point about body language with his own observations.
The former Newcastle star said: "They had the attitude [yesterday], I think, that they can just turn up at the game and it is going to happen [win].
"That is never the attitude to have in football, because you will get turned over, as they did today. They will be back."
Liverpool are next in action on Tuesday evening, away to Chelsea in the FA Cup.
