Gary Lineker sends Liverpool 'crisis' message after defeat

Gary Lineker made a typically short remark following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal as he joked that “The crisis continues” for Jurgen Klopp’s side. The former Leicester City, Everton, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur and Grampus Eight striker took to Twitter to ‘reassure’ Kopites by quipping: “The crisis continues for Liverpool but still think they’ll make the top half next season.” Since securing their first League Championship for 30 years, Liverpool have dropped more points than they had done in the entire Premier League season up to that point. That ensures they will no longer be able to eclipse or indeed reach Manchester City’s record-breaking points total for an English top-flight season (100) set in 2017/18. Source: Liverpool ECHO
