Hansen: Liverpool won't win anything with current defence

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 10:58

Former Liverpool captain Alan Hansen says Rafa Benitez's team has no chance of winning the Premiership if they cannot sort out their defence.

Hansen said: “When you talk about Liverpool for the title, all of a sudden they’ve got frailties, and I don’t think that bodes well.

“Liverpool have lost nine goals in six matches, which is far too many. They have problems with the zonal defence.

“Carragher and Skrtel for a long time have been rock solid. But they just made one or two mistakes against West Ham.

“And when you start making mistakes you go on the pitch a bit hesitant and indecisive and before you know it you’re under pressure.”
