Nevill says Liverpool have lost sharpness in attack and softened in defense;

Former Manchester United player Gary Neville has criticized Liverpool after their match against Bournemouth in the 23rd round of the Premier League.

İdman.Biz reports that the game ended 3-2 in favor of Bournemouth.

"They looked weak and I have to say, watching them for the first time, I thought they had softened a little bit. They have been a little more gentle in some areas, and that's not their style. I thought they were very aggressive last year, but they have lost the attacking edge and in my opinion, they have softened in defence, which has made them easier to play against, so that's a real problem for them. If Liverpool don't start building their games, they will lose the credibility they gained by winning the league last year.

What I don't believe is that in the last week or so I've heard a couple of interviews from Liverpool officials, including the manager, saying that this season should be a transitional season. No, forget that, I'm not going to listen to that. No, it shouldn't have been a transitional season. You spent £450m on all these players in the summer and it should have been a season where you win two titles in a row," Neville said.

After 23 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool are sixth in the table with 36 points.

On January 28, Liverpool will host Qarabag in the eighth round of the UEFA Champions League main stage.
