On Monday Night Football, club legend Jamie Carragher told it like it was.
"Sometimes, as a Liverpool fan, when it's going well, you kid yourself about certain things. "Listen, I love James Milner, but he's not a left back. Lucas Leiva, I'm sure - I'll check social media but I'm sure he's getting plenty of stick from Liverpool fans. "I actually felt so sorry for that lad and I was happy when he came off. I've got no blame to him there - he shouldn't be playing there. It's like putting me on the right wing and saying, 'why aren't you beating the full back?' I can't. There's no way I can possibly do it. "There's no way Lucas can catch Vardy in a sprint if the team's pushed up to the half way line. There's nothing he can do. He was put in a position that completely exposed him and I felt sorry for him."Asked if Liverpool's title aspirations had switched to a struggle for top four, Carra was less optimistic again.
"I'm more worried about Everton catching us at the moment."Harsh. True. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B40XXkTn5mQ Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
