Harry Redknapp reveals problem position for Liverpool image

Liverpool have lost three matches in a row, with Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea all beating the reigning Premier League champions. 

Chelsea scored a late winner through teenager Estevao's strike, which saw manager Enzo Maresca sent off for his celebration. 

Arne Slot's side started the campaign unbeaten, but the latest three results have many fans worried about what's to come for the side. 

Alexander Isak has yet to make his mark for the Reds, and Florian Wirtz continues to look out of place in the squad. 

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has delivered his verdict on what position is giving Liverpool problems.

Which position did Redknapp identify as Liverpool's problem?

Speaking to Sky Sports, Redknapp admitted Liverpool are struggling without Trent Alexander-Arnold.

He said, "They've got problems at full-back. They're missing Trent.

"They haven't played the same right-back since the Burnley game. Bradley had a tough 45 minutes. Kerkez hasn't quite adapted either - the pressure of playing for Bournemouth isn't the same."

Bradley started the Chelsea match, but was taken off at half-time after picking up a yellow card. 

Wirtz came on to replace Bradley, and Kerkez eventually made way for Andy Robertson on the other side of the pitch. 

Redknapp continued, "They have problems all over the pitch but especially at full-back with Robertson's injury at the end. This international break could be a good chance to reset.

"The full-backs aren't working. If you said to me that Dominik Szoboszlai would be playing at right-back, I would say, 'Why? He's one of the best No. 8s in the world.'

"But you're trying to get everyone in the team and keep everyone happy. Everyone is just a bit off it. Confidence looks low. I wouldn't write Liverpool off just yet but this is a mini crisis because of the way they are playing."

Liverpool will return to Anfield from the international break on October 19th to take on Manchester United.
