Former Liverpool star Jamie Redknapp has issued a warning to the Reds ahead of their Premier League clash against Manchester United which takes place after the international break.
Redknapp has warned the Reds that they cannot fall too far behind United on the Premier League standings.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have started the season in a way that is not ideal and they are already several points adrift of the Manchester clubs who are at the top of the standings. Mourinho’s men will be looking to extend their lead over the Merseyside club when the two sides meet.
Redknapp has highlighted that the Reds cannot afford to fall too many points behind their rivals by saying, “The start of the season hasn’t been as you expected. Obviously at the start with Coutinho, ‘Is he going to stay? Is he going to go?’ It’s been difficult for the manager and everybody concerned.
“So it hasn’t been the start that we would have liked but there’s a long way to go still. The problem is Man United and Man City look so strong, and Tottenham, so you can’t afford to let them get too far ahead because before you know it you’re playing catch up. But Liverpool, certainly defensively, have a lot of problems.”
