Gary Neville has made a dramatic turnaround on his views on Liverpool’s midfield and has now claimed it is the team's ‘weakness’.
Back in March, Neville had hailed the strength of Liverpool’s midfielders and their importance to the team. Yet, three months later, the former Manchester United defender has backtracked on his views and believes their inadequacy will hand Real Madrid the advantage during Saturday’s Champions League final.
The Reds are hopeful that both Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho will be fit for the showpiece event at the Stade de France against Carlo Ancelotti’s side after injuries in recent weeks. However, even if they are fit, Neville believes that Los Blancos have superiority in that area of the pitch.
