LIVERPOOL CONTINUES TO DISPLAY DEFENSIVE WOES

Jurgen Klopp defended his team in midweek after sloppy defending cost them a crucial victory over Sevilla and, three days later, sloppy defending cost them a crucial victory over Burnley, as well. It’s almost as if there’s some sort of prevailing theme to their season. The Reds have managed just two clean sheets in eight games this season, and it’s just possible that Ragnar Klavan, Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip might not all be of the required standard for a title push.

Klopp is going to have to do something to improve this defence because the patience of the Liverpool fans won’t last forever.
