Jamie Redknapp believes Liverpool’s season began unravelling at Manchester United after they suffered shock defeats in the Premier League and Europa League.
Liverpool, chasing a treble in Jurgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield, had plenty of momentum ahead of their trip to Old Trafford last weekend, knowing a victory would take them above title rivals Arsenal and Manchester City.
But the Reds had to settle for a point against a struggling United side and Redknapp believes that setback was still being felt during Thursday’s 3-0 Europa League defeat to Atalanta and Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace.
Both losses took place at Anfield and put a massive dent in Liverpool’s hopes of ending the season as Premier League champions and Europa League winners.
Asked to assess Liverpool’s title chances after the Crystal Palace defeat, Redknapp said on Sky Sports: ‘The damage was done at Man United last week.
‘You can see the affect it had in midweek and now today. They haven’t been able to take chances and put teams away.
‘They just didn’t look like scoring, it should have been 6-2 in the end. But they just haven’t got that belief right now. That’s how it can turn on you sometimes.
