Gary Neville criticizes the “useless” Liverpool attack, as the Premier League champion suffers a third consecutive loss with the defeat of Chelsea | Football news

Gary Neville criticized the Liverpool and midfield attack after the Erney Slow team suffered a third consecutive defeat in a 2-1 loss in Chelsea.

After the amazing opening of Moisees Caeedo in the first half, Liverpool got another level again in the second half through Cody Jacob.

However, the time of Estevao bench stopped a victory over the host side.

Despite his hope to complete the return, Neville feels that Liverpool last season was very poor in their attempts to chase the game, especially since Chelsea suffered more defense injury problems with Josh Ashmong and Benoa Badashilli.

Neville said in Gary Neville Podcast.

“Many Liverpool’s defensive actions have been made and it is right, but this is not the reason that they lost this game. They lost this game because in the last 15-20 minutes, their creative players were not in the last half of the stadium, midfielders, and the attackers at all.

“They were giving the ball away as if you were incredible. GAKPO, Salah, waste.

“I thought that their front players were terrible. Salah Sami. How can you criticize consistency, reliability and intelligence for him, but some of his decisions today, when he comes inside and believed that he should pass it or think he should do something better with her, and his end was bad.

“Izak, I thought he started the game sharp but did not completely enter it.

“Wirtz, when he came, I was disappointed with him. It seems very immature in his knowledge of how to play the game.

“I just see it as a kind of running, and I see it in depth when it should not be deepened, and I see it standing next to the players when he is not standing next to the players. Sometimes I see it very honest – it seems crazy about back and defense.

“Almost half of the fraud must be, almost like monitoring a deep midfielder if he can stem from going down and going in the other direction in the counter -attack. It can be fully predicted at this moment in terms of capturing his position and was disappointing.

“Liverpool was poor today. This is the 15 most disappointing hopes that I saw from Liverpool for a long time because I think that when Chelsea is this fourth in play, I scored a goal even you have to continue winning this game.

“All he said is that Liverpool should go and win this game, but they did not do that, and this is a problem for them.

“We got a title. Arsenal spent a great week, and Liverpool had spent a poor week and I think it makes the next six months great because it will be a real battle.

“For Liverpool, they have some work they have to do, but they have experienced players, they have world -class players and individuals in their team and have a great manager.

“They will sort it, but you must escalate the backs, and Wirtz is forced to start playing and understand how Izac will communicate and others in the team.”

Neville’s criticism has extended to their back line with the former back of Manchester United, indicating that Liverpool is also suffering from defensive issues as well.

“(Milos) appears to be Kerkiz, a youth team player,” said Neville. Sky Sports.

“I know he is a good player but he seems to play with U21s. He looks very naive; he looks like a child there.

“He lost, losing 50-50s against Pedro Nito. Not as if he was coming from a different country, he got a lot of games under his English Premier League belt.

“I expected him to start because he plays alongside Virgil van Dick, the best half of the middle in the world, so if you want to play in a quarter of the back, you want to play it with great defenders and do that.

“He has players working hard on this side – not as if he put Salah in front of him on this side, which is a little more difficult for the right back because you are always a little.

“I must say from the first ten minutes of that match against Bournemouth on the first day of the season that night on Friday, he struggled.

“Let’s be clear, Liverpool players are struggling. It seems that Fribong should play as a suitable suite-he does not perform like the right back. Conor Bradley does not do it, and Andy Robertson, I think he is fighting but he was not completely as he was a few years ago.

“Liverpool problems I think at this moment as much as it is about a full back like anywhere. They need it.”

The opening: Summer changes have affected us

Speaking after the match, Liverpool President Arney Slut suggested that the changes throughout the summer had affected his side.

“I think you are never approaching the ideal (your team),” said Slot.

“You have to work hard to reach a certain level, then it is very difficult in football because you are also playing against very good teams to keep this level. What I mean with this consistency.

“But it is clear that we have a lot of changes in the summer. The players came in different moments. Last week, there was no training time and we still need to try to bring these players.

“The result was better today with a draw or win, which was possible. I don’t say that we deserve it, and the draw we definitely deserves, then we started a great start for the season, if I took into account everything that happened in the summer in Liverpool.”

Has Liverpool lost his balance?

Sky Sports’ Jimmy Rednab believes that Liverpool has lost his balance in their search for a profitable formula after summer transportation.

“These goals in the last second end, running out of luck, then the other side is caught. It has become a difficult thing,” he said.

“When I saw Liverpool last season, it was the only thing that I always felt was that they were controlled – they had a beautiful balance with them, the four -back, then Ryan Gravinvich at the forefront.

“Now that the manager wants to have a little different role, it’s okay, but you can’t change much about what was very successful. They are losing control of important matches. It’s very open all the time. It was comprehensive, and this is not what Liverpool was last year.

Last year, from Arne Slot, it was one of the most incredible administrative offers. To some extent, all this is logical; they really did not buy players.

“This year has different players and tries to contain things together quickly.

“Things did not completely abandon the way he wanted. Alexander Isak will need a time, Hugo Echtek will need a time. I thought it would be all perfectly together but he didn’t.”

Rednab also believes that Liverpool feels the effect of Trent Alexander-Arnold after he got a free transfer to Real Madrid in the summer.

“They have fully faced problems with the back. They are missing Trent (Alexander-Arnold).

“They have not played the same right back since Burnley. (Connor) Bradley was 45 minutes.

“They have problems throughout the stadium, especially in the full back with the injury of (Andy) Robertson in the end. This international break may be a good opportunity to reset.”
