Former Liverpool midfielder, Jamie Redknapp, has identified defensive issues as a major problem for his former club following their 2-1 Premier League defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.
Reacting to the result, Redknapp noted that the Reds continue to struggle at right-back since the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea secured the victory at Stamford Bridge with goals from Moises Caicedo and Estevao, while Cody Gakpo found the net for Arne Slot’s side.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp said, “They have got problems at full-back. They are missing Trent [Alexander-Arnold]. They have not played the same right-back since the Burnley game. Bradley had a tough 45 minutes.”
The loss means Liverpool have dropped to second place in the Premier League table, sitting just behind leaders Arsenal.
