“I said before the game that I thought Liverpool were back to their best but they have been awful in that first half.”
Fellow pundit Carragher added: “Liverpool have had problems all season against teams that have intensity and aggression.
“It looks like an ageing team coming to an end, and that was shambolic.”

“Liverpool year in, year out, have sold someone, bought someone, but I think this is a case of now Liverpool need to spend about £200 million ($A354m),” he mentioned on Sky Sports.
“ … Liverpool have bought one midfield player in four-and-a-half years. It’s come back to haunt them now.
“When I watch Liverpool now, it seems they are morphing into something else: a technical team … people keep talking about Jude Bellingham. Liverpool haven’t got a problem going forward. It’s actually a midfielder player to stop the opposition going through them.
“Fabinho is getting older. Jordan Henderson doesn’t have the energy any more. James Milner … Liverpool’s transfer committee have been lauded more than any scouting network in world football. This is on them.”
