🚨🗣️ Steven Gerrard on Liverpool’s collapse against Leeds: “I couldn’t care less if it’s pre-season. Being 2-0 up and then completely losing control isn’t the standard at Liverpool. You can’t expect Chiesa, Curtis Jones, Trey Nyoni, Ndukwe and the youngsters to carry the team.” “Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez get forward and create goals, but Leeds were cutting through us far too easily. Defensively, we’re nowhere near where we need to be, and I still don’t think enough has been done to address it.” “I understand what Andoni Iraola is trying to build with his intensity, but if the back line isn’t solid, that intensity quickly turns into disorder.” “Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak will win you plenty of matches, but they can’t spend every week covering for defensive mistakes. If Liverpool want to challenge for the biggest trophies, the defending has to improve—and fast.” #LFC
