Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slaughtered his old club after their defeat at Crystal Palace.
Having taken an early lead through Rickie Lambert, Brendan Rodgers's side crumbled to their third successive Premier league defeat, leaving them 18 points adrift of leaders Chelsea after just 12 games.
Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, Carragher said: "This is more than just a poor start; there's something wrong.
"Something's not right, they're getting bullied out of games. [At] the end of last season, when they came here, we said [they were] mentally, physically weak - same again. Nothing's changed.
"No matter £120 million [spent on players], [Luis] Suarez has gone...so what? Suarez has gone. [They are] still mentally weak, [there is] no leadership on the pitch."
Carragher is adamant that the club's problems are bigger than their missing Luis Suarez.
He continued: "And as a Liverpool fan, which I am - I don't care about being neutral on TV - what I'm saying is as a fan when you're watching your own team, the worst thing you can ever be throwing at your own team or think of them is [they are] being bullied or being weak and that's what we've seen today from Liverpool, and not [for] the first time.
"It has been going on all season and we're saying 'new players, give them time to adjust' - I'm not a big believer in that. I've never moved club, and when a foreign player comes in it takes a bit of time [to adapt] but we're getting to the stage now where you want to start seeing performances.
"And Liverpool aren't getting beat by quality, they're getting bullied, and as I said they're getting beaten by enthusiasm from Crystal Palace."
