Liverpool losing to PSV in the Champions League led to Steven Gerrard lambasting the Reds and particularly honing in on the defence that shipped four goals at Anfield
Steven Gerrard has labelled the defence that finished the 4-1 defeat to PSV as “not a Liverpool back four”. The pundit has called for soul-searching from the team as pressure intensifies even more on them.
Gerrard said on TNT Sport: “The substitution of Konate was huge, that sends a story. You look at the back four that you finish with: Curtis Jones, Gravenberch, Van Dijk and Kerkez. That’s not a Liverpool back four, never will be.
The former Reds captain also said: “No, it’s not [acceptable], they’re conceding too many goals, they’re wide open, they’re vulnerable and unstable. Anfield tells a story; the seats are empty.
“PSV were excellent, and we were comfortable here tonight, deserving the victory. Liverpool’s problems become deeper, pressure intensifies even more, and there needs to be soul-searching for sure.”
