Reds must find form

Last updated : 04 October 2006 By Al Campbell
Liverpool were excellent at the back last season, keeping 33 clean sheets, including a club record 11 in a row and 22 in the Premiership. This is in stark contrast to this season where the Reds have kept only three clean sheets in twelve games.

Jamie Carragher says the Reds must get it together at the back as they're conceding goals far too easily at the moment.

"It's frustrating because the other teams don't seem to have to do a lot to score against us when we go away. Bolton had one proper chance from open play and that was the second goal, and Pepe Reina didn't have a save to make really in the rest of the game," said the defensive king-pin.

"It was the same at Chelsea, at Sheffield United and although we played badly at Everton they didn't have a lot of chances either.

"But that's what the game is about now, you can't afford to make any mistakes, no matter how small, because you just get punished. The small details are costing us.

"The manager pulled us up after the Galatasaray game because it got a bit like a schoolboy game at the end, attack versus defence.

"But conceding goals like that is something we have got to rectify. We have got to get back to keeping clean sheets."
