Alan Shearer has voiced his concerns over Liverpool's defensive frailties following the team's last-gasp defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday. This result, coupled with Arsenal's own stoppage-time victory at Newcastle, has seen Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League table reduced to just two points.

Despite their position at the summit, Liverpool's performances this season have been less than convincing, particularly in light of the club's $600 million summer spending spree. Adding insult to injury, Marc Guehi, who was linked with a move to Anfield before joining Crystal Palace, played a key role in Liverpool's defeat.
