Alan Shearer has ripped into Liverpool's defensive showing against Leeds United and believes a lack of protection from midfield is continuing to cost the Reds.
Goals from Rodrigo and Crysencio Summerville, either side of a Mohamed Salah equaliser, condemned Liverpool to their first Anfield defeat since March 2021, when victory for Scott Parker's Fulham side made it six consecutive home losses.
A lapse of communication from Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker ensured the Spaniard had precious little to do to notch his sixth goal of the Premier League season with just four minutes gone on Merseyside. The mistake set the tone for the rest of a forgettable night at Anfield as those in red struggled to execute the basics of the game and allowed Jesse Marsch's side to hang on in the contest before delivering the ultimate sucker punch late on.
