I hated hearing Liverpool boos but couldn't believe what I was seeing from Arne Slot's side

There hasn’t been a lot of enjoyment for anyone involved.It’s not as though the players have been chucking it in. There just isn’t enough of it from Liverpool’s players.

It seems at times they are thinking too much about what the next pass might be rather than dealing with the situation there and then.As ex-players watching on, we couldn’t believe what was happening in the build-up to Tottenham’s equaliser. But you shouldn’t be doing it as many times as we have been, especially given so many of them have changed the outcome of matches.Even if you take away just half of those late goals, we’d be a lot further up the table and probably be on the tails of Manchester City.

We got the lead and were on top, and then we simply let the game drift away from us and back into the hands of Tottenham.There’ll be plenty of talk about the changes made by the manager, but on form how many of those who didn’t start deserved to?You might say Alexander Isak and possibly Conor Bradley would have been good shouts had they been fit, and I’d have perhaps started with Hugo Ekitike and, if tiredness was an issue, taken him off after an hour.I get that Slot probably thought his line-up had enough to beat Tottenham and, in truth, it should have done easily. And that might end up being good news for Liverpool.You only have to look at the performances of the English teams in the Champions League last week to realise the top flight is somewhat over-rated.Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are already effectively out, we could easily have lost by more at Galatasaray and Arsenal scraped a draw.Newcastle United were the only ones to gain a good result but you’d still not have them as favourites to go through at Barcelona.What it all means is that despite so many indifferent performances, Liverpool are still very much in the hunt for Champions League qualification.But let’s be clear – that was two massive points dropped against Tottenham Hotspur that could prove crucial.We are going to need to turn up at Brighton on Saturday.
