‘Absolutely useless’- Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo savaged by Gary Neville after Chelsea defeat

Neville said: “Games are won by intent, teams that look like they want to win. I’m not saying Liverpool didn’t, they obviously did, but I thought that after they scored I was really disappointed by the level of their performance. A lot has been made of Liverpool’s defensive work, and rightly so, but today that’s not why they’ve lost this game.

“They’ve lost this game because in the last 15-20 minutes, their creative players, their players in the final half of the pitch, the midfielders and the forwards who were absolutely useless. They were giving the ball away like you wouldn’t believe. 

“Gakpo down here, Salah over on that far side; the wastage. Wirtz not knowing how to get into a game in the last 15 minutes when it was there for the taking, and just almost sort of marking Caicedo, I was watching him a lot.”
