Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher labelled Thiago Alcantara's defending "a liability" as the Reds went down 3-1 to Leicester on Saturday.
With Liverpool leading 1-0 through a fine Mohamed Salah goal, they collapsed in the final 12 minutes of the match to surrender the lead and suffer a damaging defeat in their quest to finish in the top four.
Leicester's equaliser came from a James Maddison free-kick after a weak Thiago challenge on Harvey Barnes, and Carragher says that the Spaniard's tackling is a major issue as he continues to struggle at Liverpool, while he also took aim at goalkeeper Alisson for his form in the last two matches.
Carragher tweeted: "Liverpool outstanding up until 1-1. Thiago a liability defensively! The Keeper’s decision making gone awol last 2 games!!"
Jurgen Klopp refused to pin blame on individuals, and was instead angry at the manner of the Leicester equaliser after it survived a VAR check.
"We conceded a goal that was a really tough one to take. I know we discuss a lot about VAR but I think we all agree it was a turning point in the game," he told BT Sport.
"I saw it now, a couple of times, the goal and the moment when they stop the situation where you look at who is offside he [Maddison] hadn’t even touched the ball yet.
"So that means it is still an individual decision of someone who decides if it is offside or not offside.
"And that’s really hard because for me it looked like a clear offside in that moment because he has to touch the ball, that’s the moment when offside is yes or no.
"And when I saw it now, and when Bobby’s [Firmino's] foot should be a little bit closer than whatever they throw in there. That’s it. It was a turning point.
"The second goal is a misunderstanding. We spoke about before that we need to get used to each other so we were used to each other until the goal happened, 75 minutes or so."
