Liverpool have lost their last four Premier League games and Manchester United legend Paul Scholes reckons that Alisson Becker's injury has been a significant factorManchester United legend Paul Scholes has suggested that Liverpool should be concerned about Giorgi Mamardashvili amid the absence of Alisson Becker. Liverpool signed the 25-year-old last summer but immediately loaned him back out to Valencia to get regular game time.Although Mamardashvili hasn't made any clangers since he came into the side, Scholes says that 'it seems like every shot is going in'.The former United midfielder argues that without Alisson, Liverpool are significantly weaker, a statement which few fans - if any - would argue with."There's something not right there (at Liverpool)," Scholes explained on the The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

"When you've got a good team, you try and strengthen it. When you win a league, you try and bring in players.

It's not a good trait."Mamardashvili could be given the chance to prove his critics wrong when Liverpool host Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday.But the Georgia international shouldn't be the only concern for Arne Slot, according to Scholes."(Milos Kerkez) has struggled and I think both centre-backs (Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk) have," Scholes continued."I thought Konate was brilliant against Manchester United and then on Saturday night, when he's running back against that lad (Kevin Schade), I was thinking, 'He'll catch him him, he'll get him!' and he almost gave up."It's like they've almost lost the determination to stop goals going in. I think they will always score goals with the quality they've got and, look, it's still early in the season."But losing four league games already, teams don't really do that and win the league anymore.
