Who’s to blame as self-sabotage champions strike again?

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect as Liverpol’s unbeaten run ends at 13 - and in the process sees them drop out of the top four after defeat at Bournemouth.

The panel dissect the defensive frailties, late-game collapses and ask who is really to blame for a squad that looks short on options despite spending £450m last summer.

There’s also the latest on Andy Robertson’s future, injury updates, and a look ahead to a crucial Champions League clash with Qarabag — with Liverpool’s European hopes increasingly feeling like they could define Slot’s tenure.
