Carragher slaughters Liverpool defence after Palace collapse

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was scathing of their defence after drawing 3-3 at Crystal Palace. Carragher launched a scathing attack on Liverpool's "unacceptable" back four after they blew a three-goal lead at Crystal Palace and all but gifted Manchester City the Premier League title.

"Defensively they're not up to being Premier League champions," he said on Sky Sports.

"Sakho makes you nervous. They always concede together. It's not good enough.

"That final 20 minutes was unacceptable. They concede too many goals.

"The back four and defensive side of this team have shown they can't cope with pressure. They're not leaders.

"You can't keep inviting pressure. They got out of jail at Norwich the other week and haven't learned their lesson; It's gone on and on over the past few months.

"Well tonight they haven't and have thrown away the Premier League title."
