Roy Keane: 'This Sums Up Why Liverpool Won't Win Any Big Prizes'

'Schoolboy defending' - one of his favourite terms of ridicule - was how Roy Keane described Liverpool's concession of a second goal against Sevilla on Wednesday night.

From a throw-in Luis Muriel found space amid seven Liverpool defenders. The Colombian played in Joaquin Correa for a 72nd minute equaliser in a game which finished 2-2.

This sums up Liverpool in a nutshell, why they're not going to win any big prizes. Just switching off - from a throw-in - and then the equaliser in such an important game. Experienced players just switching off.

Keane, speaking on ITV's Champions League highlights show, added that being alert for such situations should be the easiest part of football.

It's the easiest part of football: switching on. Liverpool do the hard stuff really well in terms of creating chances, pace, power and a bit of quality going forward. But that is the easiest part of football [switching on], yet Liverpool cannot seem to do it.

Win the league and Champions League? No. Liverpool? Forget about it. I think they have enough to get through the groups but the later stages against the Real Madrids and all these boys, they'll be laughing at Liverpool.
