Roy Keane labels Liverpool 'easy to play against' following poor run of results

Roy Keane has branded Liverpool as 'easy to play against' following their poor form this season. The Manchester United legend made the comments whilst on punditry duty for ITV following Liverpool's narrow victory over Wolves last night.

Presenter Mark Pougatch asked the Irishman why he thinks Liverpool have struggled this season to which Keane responded, "I think the biggest problem for Liverpool, the biggest insult I can give them is that they're easy to play against. When you think of them over the last year or two when they were at their best they were aggressive and a real hunger and I think teams are finding it easy to play against them"

Reacting to Liverpool's win over Wolves last night Keane remarked, "It was an important win, a clean sheet, it's a start. But it's a long way back for them, they're well off it at the moment from where they have been over the last few years"

"The signs have been there for a few months, even going back to early in the season I was looking at them and thought your easy to play against and that's not a good sign".

Liverpool have struggled for consistency so far this season and have been on the wrong end of hammerings by Brentford and Brighton in recent weeks. Following their humbling at the Amex on Saturday Reds boss Jurgen Klopp claimed he couldn't remember a 'worse game' during his tenure as Liverpool manager. They face a rematch with the Seagulls in the 4th round.
