Under-pressure Liverpool manager Gareth Taylor says his side have had a “real reality check” as their winless start to the Women’s Super League season continued with a damaging 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Reds have failed to win any of their 10 WSL games, picking up just four points.<\/p>\n
Thursday’s loss at Villa Park<\/a>, in which Liverpool failed to have a shot on target, leaves them two points adrift at the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n Asked about how much pressure he was under, Taylor told Sky Sports: “I don’t know. I think there is a real reality check here.<\/p>\n “I think this team needs help. I need help.”<\/p>\n Former Manchester City manager Taylor took over in August<\/a>, replacing interim boss Amber Whiteley who had guided the team to a seventh-place finish in the WSL last season.<\/p>\n However, Taylor has won just three matches in his five months in charge, all against WSL 2-level opposition in the Women’s League Cup.<\/p>\n “I think there’s no doubt that we have regressed as a team for sure, more than is expected of a club like Liverpool,” Taylor added.<\/p>\n “We have given it everything. We are trying to coach the players. The players are really honest.<\/p>\n “The reality is we are aware of it and I think sometimes you can be really exposed – and that’s what has happened tonight.”<\/p>\n In Taylor’s defence, his early tenure on Merseyside has been disrupted by injuries to key players.<\/p>\n
