Jamie Carragher has entreated Liverpool to tighten up defensively if they’re to stop Jurgen Klopp’s last season at the membership as Premier League champions.
The Reds go into today’s clash against Crystal Palace having no longer kept a smooth sheet in their final eight matches, with five dreams conceded over the previous week to Manchester United and Atalanta.
Speaking to Sky Sports at Anfield prior to this afternoon’s game, the ex-LFC defender said: “There is a feeling when you play Liverpool that you’ll get a chance, and it’s been there for most of the season.
“I assume there’s 20 instances this season the place Liverpool have conceded the first goal. Between now and the cease of the season, that’s acquired to stop.
“Liverpool should get back to keeping easy sheets, and if they do that, they have adequate firepower on the pitch and also on the bench to come on and rating goals. They’ve obtained to take that feeling away, and that would give every body in this stadium and Liverpool supporters watching faith that they can win the Premier League.”While we’ve only lost six out of 50 fits in all competitions this season (including two Europa League crew defeats of no real consequence), it’s a annoying sign that we’ve fallen in the back of in 40% of those games.
Although the resilience to mechanically come lower back from losing positions is a welcome sight, it’s now not something on which Liverpool will choose to be dependent as they aim to see off Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
A win today is essential; a smooth sheet would additionally be most desirable
