Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher feels Brendan Rodgers' team could've been battered by Manchester City last night.
Carragher believes Liverpool have failed to fix their problems from last season, and face a challenge even to make the top four.
He told Sky Sports: "Liverpool were so close to City [last season], you don't want to go to your rivals early on and get a good beating. It was 3-1, it probably could have been four or five nil.
"The problems that we spoke about last season which lost Liverpool the title, after two games they've already conceded four goals. It's something they're going to have to rectify.
"People are saying they're not in for the title. I still see think they're one of the best sides in the league.
"But if they continue conceding goals like that, with extra games, no Suarez as well, top four's going to be a fight as well this season for them."
