Former Manchester United player Gary Neville criticized Liverpool after their match against Bournemouth in the 23rd round of the Premier League.
İdman.Biz reports that the game ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of Bournemouth.
"They looked weak and I have to say that watching them for the first time I thought they had softened a bit. They have been a little more gentle in some areas and that is not their style. I thought they were very aggressive last year, but they have lost their attacking advantage and in my opinion they have softened in defense, which has made them easier to play against, so that is a real problem for them. Unless Liverpool start building their games, they will lose the credibility they gained by winning the league last year.
What I don't believe is that over the past week I have heard several interviews from Liverpool officials, including the manager, saying that this season should be a transition season. No, forget that, I'm not going to listen to it. No, it shouldn't have been a transition season. You spent £450 million on all these players in the summer and it should have been a season where you win two consecutive titles," said Neville.
After 23 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool are sixth in the league table with 36 points.
On January 28, Liverpool will host Qarabag in the eighth round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
