Joe Cole has called out three 'awful' Liverpool stars as the Premier League champions were beaten 3-2 at Brentford on Saturday.
Goals from Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade gave the Bees a two-goal cushion before Milos Kerkez got on the scoresheet before half-time.
Igor Thiago slotted home a penalty after the break with Mohamed Salah’s late goal not enough as Brentford secured three points against the Reds.
Cole, speaking in his half-time analysis for TNT Sports, blasted three Liverpool players – Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Kerkez.
Rewatching Schade’s goal for Brentford, Cole said: ‘The defending is awful from Van Dijk and Konate.
'But it is a beautiful pass and an unbelievable finish. Kerkez had an awful 45 minutes [in the first half].'
Fellow pundit Steve McManaman opined: 'Liverpool have been very, very chaotic and all over the place at times.
'They are very fortune they got a late goal [before half time] to get back in the game. I thought Kerkez was poor, I thought [Florian] Wirtz was weak.'
After the match, Cole added: ‘We had drama, quality and passion. [Brentford boss] Keith Andrews has just taken the baton off Thomas Frank and he is just pushing this football club up the table.
'This is Brentford’s moment. A wonderful performance from the team.'
