Defensive Woes Haunt Liverpool
Liverpool’s defensive weaknesses have become increasingly evident, having conceded 11 goals this season—the most among the top teams. With players like Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid and Andrew Robertson benched, Liverpool struggles to maintain defensive solidity.
