The defence makes Manchester United’s look like a brick wall at times

You do not build a house starting from the roof and it seems that Liverpool have neither roof nor foundations this season.

They cannot rely on their attack to get them out of the tricky situations the defence are creating and it was a huge error by Rodgers not to rectify this in the summer.

The signs were clear to see last season but Rodgers chose to ignore them – and now it is worse.
