Liverpool suffered a damning 3-0 defeat against Manchester City on Sunday to leave them down in eighth in the Premier League table after 11 matchesRoy Keane has offered a brutal assessment of Liverpool's recent woes and claimed it's 'crisis time' for the Reds following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. Arne Slot's side were beaten in comprehensive fashion at the Etihad Stadium, with Erling Haaland , Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku scoring for City.Despite missing a penalty to put City ahead in the 13th minute, Haaland did eventually give Pep Guardiola's men the lead just before the half hour mark, slotting a header beyond Reds goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.Liverpool then thought they had levelled after Virgil van Dijk headed home Mohamed Salah's corner, only for the assistant referee to chalk off the goal as Andy Robertson was deemed to be interfering while in an offside position.READ MORE: Liverpool next five fixtures compared to Premier League rivals after Man City setbackA matter of minutes later, City went 2-0 in front as Gonzalez's deflected strike flew past a stranded Mamardashvili.

"I think it is crisis time for Liverpool," he told Sky Sports. I thought Liverpool looked like a really weak team today.

I think it is a crisis for Liverpool."Liverpool created an expected goals (xG) of just 0.71 throughout the game. But I liked, if there's anything to like today, our second-half performance because teams that sometimes struggle, teams that go 3-0 down over here, they give up but that's not what I saw."I saw a team that was trying to come back into the game, we had moments to do so, but it wasn't enough today."Defeat to City has left Liverpool down in eighth in the Premier League table after winning six and losing five of their 11 top-flight matches.
