EPL: Senior players must take responsibility for Liverpool form, says Shearer

Former England captain, Alan Shearer, has said Liverpool were lucky for their 3-3 draw with Brighton at Anfield.

For Liverpool, it was their fourth draw of the season in the Premier League and they now sit ninth in the table, level on points with Brentford and Everton.

“Liverpool looked very leggy, lethargic and tired,” Shearer told the BBC’s Match of the Day. “If it was a one-off you would sort of accept it but it has happened a few times this season.

“Trent Alexander-Arnold has taken some criticism for his defending and rightly so at times before it hasn’t been good enough, but others need to take responsibility – (Virgil) Van Dijk, (Jordan) Henderson, (Joel) Matip, Thiago, Mo Salah. We’re so used to over the years looking at Liverpool and looking at the way they press with the high energy, there was none of that today.

“Liverpool at times couldn’t cope with them (Brighton). They should have been 4-0 down after half an hour.”
