Jamie Carragher: What Liverpool’s title rivals will be thinking about Jurgen Klopp’s defence

Jamie Carragher says Liverpool’s title rivals will be well aware about how to exploit Jurgen Klopp’s defence after Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Bournemouth.

The Reds squandered a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 to the Cherries in dramatic circumstances in the Premier League after summer signing Loris Karius conceded three times in the final 14 minutes.

Liverpool eased into a 2-0 lead ahead of half-time thanks to goals from Sadio Mane and Divock Origi at the Vitality Stadium in Sunday’s early kick-off.

However, Callum Wilson halved the deficit early in the second half after James Milner’s sloppy tackle before Germany midfielder Emre Can restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion.

But Ryan Fraser and Steve Cook levelled the Premier League clash with 12 minutes remaining before on-loan Chelsea defender Nathan Ake netted an added-time winner.

Former Liverpool centre-half Carragher delivered a withering verdict on Klopp’s back four after their 4-3 loss to Bournemouth in the context of the title race.

“I think it’s a message to the rest of the Premier League that if you really put Liverpool’s defence under pressure, they can’t cope,” Carragher told Sky Sports on Sunday.
