Roy Keane slams Liverpool: I would not watch them in my back garden
ROY KEANE has launched a ferocious attack on Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s men swept aside NK Maribor 3-0 at Anfield last night to edge themselves closer to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Defensively, the Reds have come under intense scrutiny this season and are lagging well behind in the title race, as they are 12 points behind the leaders Manchester City.
And former Manchester United star-turned-pundit Keane couldn’t resist having a pop at his former club’s fierce rivals.
“It’s hard to figure out Liverpool at the moment,” Keane told ITV.
“It’s hard to get excited about them, they’re going nowhere fast.

“They’re neat and tidy, but we know what they are like defensively.
“Come the end of the season when the prizes are being given out, Liverpool will be nowhere near.
“At the back, there are question marks over the goalkeeper and there’s not too much about to say them.
