‘You’re Liverpool. If you keep behaving like that, it’ll be another 30 years before you win the title again’: Roy Keane SAVAGES Reds for making ‘excuse after excuse’ and being ‘bad champions’ after latest lifeless defeat against Man City
Roy Keane slammed Liverpool for being ‘bad champions’ and making ‘excuses after excuses’ after their Premier League title bid was dashed by a 4-1 loss to Manchester City.
The Reds were outclassed by Pep Guardiola’s City as two goals from Ilkay Gundogan and strikes from Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden moved Anfield’s visitors ten points clear of Jurgen Klopp’s side with a game in hand.
Liverpool are now 27 points worse off than last season, the worst decline by any Premier League champions in history and Keane claimed the Reds became too complacent after winning their first title in 30 years last term.
Keane told Sky Sports: ‘We spoke before the game about them making a lot of excuses, to me they’ve been bad champions.

‘We spoke about some sort of drop off (this season), they won the league last year and they believed their own hype and thought “we could beat other teams”.
‘When you win the title, you think, “can we get it again?” I never thought that from this group. They went, “Let’s enjoy this.” I never heard any of the players saying “Let’s do it again.” Now we’re talking about the top four and it being their target.’
