Roy Keane has claimed that Liverpool’s “biggest problem” this season has been their defence.Despite the Reds managing to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in their Champions League clash on Wednesday, some cracks still managed to show. Indeed, it was a completely new system, and it’s likely to take time for the players to get fully used to it, but that doesn’t mean that they should have conceded the first goal of the clash.

Roy Keane says that Liverpool have been a “little bit off” this seasonAs everyone knows, the Reds won all of their first five Premier League games, but since they were beaten 2-1 by Crystal Palace at the end of September, things have gone pear-shaped.There have been times when last season’s Liverpool have come out, but more often than not, the Reds have found themselves on the back foot, with one of Konate’s mistakes even leading to Alisson getting injured. While speaking on the Stick to Football Podcast, Keane shared his thoughts on Liverpool and why he thinks their defence have been giving up chances.

But defensively, and we started the start of the season, going back to the Community Shield, they’re giving up chances.“You’re going, yeah, but they’re scoring, they’re scoring.“And now that’s dried up.
