Jason McAteer is frustrated at Liverpool gifting goals to opposing sides and is waiting for the Reds to concede a world-class strike they can do little about.

Jurgen Klopp's men again came up short defensively when facing Crystal Palace on Sunday at Anfield, as they conceded two sloppy goals to hand the Eagles a 2-1 victory and damage their hopes of finishing in the top four.




Liverpool continue to be vulnerable from set pieces and Palace specifically targeted the Reds to good affect from dead ball situations.

McAteer was left again disappointed by Liverpool's defending and explained he is still waiting to see the Reds concede a world-class goal which they can reasonably claim not to have been able to do anything about.
 


"I'd just love to see someone score a world-class goal against us – I'd just love to see it", McAteer said on LFC TV.
