Liverpool enjoyed a memorable 2024\/25 season, running away with the Premier League title, finishing 10 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. Confidence was high, looking ahead to the 2025\/26 season, when the tragic passing of Diogo Jota understandably affected the whole club. This season has been full of ups and downs and lots of frustration. A last-gasp equaliser from struggling Tottenham on March 15 left Liverpool frustrated. Following the conclusion of the game, Manchester United legend Roy Keane<\/span><\/a> gave a savage assessment of Liverpool\u2019s title defence. The Reds currently find themselves in fifth-place, 21 points off league leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Roy Keane Savagely Weighs in on Liverpool\u2019s Title Defence<\/h3>\n

Liverpool appeared on the verge of grinding out a big three points in their chase for Champions League football next season. Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s first-half free-kick had put Arne Slot\u2019s team in front. Tottenham managed to stay in the game and created chances before Richarlison equalised in the 90th minute to earn Spurs a huge point in their scrap for survival. The result also gave interim boss Igor Tudor his first point in the Spurs hotseat.<\/p>\n

Roy Keane Delivers Blunt Assessment of Liverpool’s Season<\/h3>\n

Speaking on the Sky Sports broadcast after the game, Keane said: \u201cConsidering they were league champions last year, I\u2019ve said it before, a number of times, Liverpool have been bad champions. They were bad champions a few years ago. They\u2019re now 21 points behind Arsenal. What a drop off that is!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s issues going on in the background, I think there\u2019s bigger issues. There\u2019s details there you can fix, with players tucking in. I think there\u2019s stuff going on there. I don\u2019t know if they’re all on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at this group of players, and their mentality and their work rate and their desire, what they\u2019re doing on the training pitch, and I don\u2019t like what I see from this Liverpool group. I just don\u2019t like it,\u201d added Keane.<\/p>\n
