00:00Liverpool were accused of lacking both physical and mental resilience after their chaotic 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa exposed
00:10familiar defensive flaws.
00:13Former Liverpool defender and pundit Jamie Carragher believed Arne Slot's side had been taken to the cleaners at Villa Park,
00:22with the result marking their 12th Premier League defeat of the season.
00:27The loss also continued a worrying trend for Liverpool away from home, with the Reds still without a league victory
00:36on the road against any side currently in the top nine of the table.
00:42Carragher suggested the problems had been evident since the opening weeks of the campaign and Liverpool haven't improved.
00:49He continued that the squad had too many weak players, physically and mentally, and felt repairing those issues would become
00:57one of the biggest tasks facing Arne Slot ahead of next season.
01:02Liverpool's defensive record has become a growing concern amongst fans, with 52 league goals conceded the highest tally in the
01:11club's history across a 38 Premier League campaign.
01:16Aston Villa striker Oli Watkins highlighted Liverpool's disjointed back line and said that while Liverpool play a high line, they
01:24don't play offside and it left plenty of room for the striker to run into.
