Liverpool have failed to score a real goal in their last three games, and inevitably, the internet is ramant with speculation as to the cause.
And we think we found it.
Martin Skrtel has Hair Now

That picture was posted February 1, and, not knowing how fast Skrtel's hair grows, we have to assume he had been growing his hair out for at least a few days (his hair in the picture is still pretty short).
Under this timeline, he could, conceivably, have started growing his hair out immediately after Liverpool's epic 5-4 thriller against Norwich City. If this is true, and we believe that it is because we are conspiracy theorists, then Liverpool have not scored a goal in a match (not counting the penalty shootout in the Capital One Cup semi-final against Stoke) since Martin Skrtel began growing his hair out.
Liverpool's results in that time: Liverpool 0-1 Stoke (win penalty shootout), Liverpool 0-0 West Ham and Liverpool 0-2 Leicester City. We are not a professional mathematician, but we see a pattern here. (Worth noting that the injured Skrtel didn't actually play in any of those games.)
Shave your head, Martin. For the good of the club.
