Liverpool lost 1-0 to Swansea.
Liverpool suffered a shock defeat to Swansea City last night at the Liberty Stadium.
The Reds were beaten 1-0 through a Alfie Mawson strike, despite dominating possession with 72 per cent.
Liverpool had 21 shots at goal, but only four landed on target.
Hartson said: “Liverpool have shown effort, work-rate, and they’ve missed a couple of decent chances in the first half, but they’ve just not been inventive enough.
“Liverpool have had a lot of the ball but Fabianski’s hardly had a shot to save. They just haven’t tested the keeper.”
Lukasz Fabianski was equal to all Liverpool threw at him, but Swansea did have a lucky escape in injury time when Roberto Firmino headed against the post.
Hartson added: “I don’t know how Firmino missed that header from six yards out.”
Liverpool beat Manchester City a week earlier, scoring four goals in a spectacular performance.
This was a come down from that high, and the result leaves Liverpool in fourth, six points behind second placed Manchester United.
