"He had an absolutely, unbelievably horrendous first half."He couldn't pass the ball properly, he kept giving fouls away, he got booked, he's trying to fight Mateta. I know Konate's a big lad but Mateta's bigger than him and you've got to use your brains."Unfortunately today Konate didn't use any brains whatsoever.

But at the end of the day the backline is there to do the job and right now it doesn't look comfortable anytime it is asked to defend - whether it is today or the previous games."Liverpool might be sitting top of the league still but Arne Slot still has a lot of questions that need answering that he hasn't quite found the answer to yet."Nicol wasn't alone in his critique of Konate's performance, with fellow ex-Liverpool player Owen also expressing concern over his first-half display, noting it wasn't a one-off subpar performance."I don't know whether it was tiredness, but they rested a fair few players in midweek in the Carabao Cup," he said, as relayed by SPORTbible. We are early in the season, I'd be hesitant to blame it on [tiredness]."I mean, Konate in the first half didn't know what he was doing.
