Liverpool’s defence savaged by Asmir Begovic after Spurs defeat as Bournemouth star says ‘they don’t take pride in roles’
Reds emphatically thumped 4-1 by Tottenham on Sunday in one-sided Premier League clash at Wembley
BOURNEMOUTH star Asmir Begovic has savaged Liverpool’s defence in the wake of their 4-1 defeat to Tottenham.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were emphatically crushed at Wembley on Sunday despite being tipped as title contenders at the start of the season.
Premier League leaders Manchester City already look out of reach for Liverpool.
And Jurgen Klopp admits his side could also miss out on the top four unless they get their act together.
Many feel that Liverpool’s defence is to blame for their recent woes, with Dejan Lovren in particular coming under heavy fire.
And former Chelsea goalkeeper Begovic believes the criticism is just, claiming that the Reds take no pride in defending and are unable to do the basics when it matters most.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Begovic said: “They don’t look like they want to defend. Their first thought isn’t defending.
“As a unit, they look all over the place. Communication is a big part of the game, maybe that’s not there.

“They don’t take the pride it takes to be a defender. Against Spurs you will have to defend.
“Sometimes the ball has to go and you do your basics. From the first minute they didn’t understand they could be in trouble.”
