It comes after arguably Liverpool’s worst Premier League display of the season as it fell to a 3-2 defeat at Craven Cottage.
For Scholes, an 11-time Premier League winner, he feels Liverpool has allowed its focus to slip given the lack of a genuine competitor at the top of the table.
You just need someone a bit closer to them,” Scholes told Premier League Productions after Liverpool’s loss at Fulham.
“Arsenal have to be kicking themselves because this was a real opportunity, obviously with Man City not having the quality you’d expect in the title race.
“If Arsenal were a bit closer it could have got a bit shaky for Liverpool
It still could if Arsenal win all their games – you can’t think Arsenal are going to win all their games especially with the two Real Madrid games coming up.
Paul Scholes was critical of Liverpool after the defeat at Fulham
“I think he really needs to make sure that there’s a proper determination to get over the line as soon as possible.”
The loss in the capital means Liverpool now holds an 11-point gap over second-place Arsenal and needs just 10 more points from the final seven games to secure a record-equalling 20th league title.
