Maybe. But the nature of the goals we conceded was exactly as routinely happened last time

We were in the prem.

So the question really is whether we can stop doing that or it’s just endemic in how we play.

I know a couple were lucky deflections but the defence/midfield were quite often all over the place with Liverpool players left unmarked.
