Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes have suffered a major setback after a frustrating 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, leaving one club legend furious.
The former Reds striker, who had previously warned against starting a particular player, has launched a scathing attack, blaming him for the dropped points and declaring the title race effectively over.
Following the match, his reaction was blunt and unforgiving:
“I warned them—don’t start him against Villa. But they didn’t listen. One costly mistake, and now we’ve lost three crucial points.
This could change everything. And with Manchester City up next, forget about the title—it’s gone. You can’t win with players like this.”
Liverpool had a golden opportunity to keep the pressure on City, but defensive lapses, poor decision-making, and sloppy passing proved costly.
Now, with a massive clash against City looming, the mood at Anfield has shifted from optimism to despair.
“How Did We Sign a Player Like This?” – Frustration Mounts
The ex-striker didn’t hold back, questioning how Liverpool even ended up with a player who, in his view, isn’t up to the club’s standards.
“He ruined us today! This isn’t a title-winning squad, and today’s performance proves it.”
Fans share his frustration, with social media flooded with criticism directed at Arne Slot’s tactics and team selection. Many now doubt whether Liverpool has the depth to compete for the league.
Manchester City Next – A Nightmare Ahead?
With City on the horizon, Liverpool’s title aspirations appear to be fading fast. If they struggled against Aston Villa, few believe they stand a chance against Pep Guardiola’s relentless side.
“Play like this against City, and we’re finished!” one fan wrote on X.
Another added:
“Title race? Forget it. If we can’t beat Villa at home, how will we stop City?”
The End of Liverpool’s Title Dream?
With just a handful of games left, Liverpool’s hopes of lifting the trophy are slipping away. Arne Slot is under increasing pressure, and unless his team finds an immediate response, he could face serious scrutiny before the season ends.
