It’s a fantastic goal from Brentford’s point of view but for Liverpool just slow the game down, go long. You don’t go short against a team that is so aggressive and on the front foot.”
Former Liverpool defender Carragher added: “From minute one of Jurgen Klopp’s era, forget the quality of the players, they were sprinting all over the place.
