Gary Neville and Daniel Sturridge were embroiled in a heated exchange over Liverpool's drop off in form this season ahead of the Reds' clash with Arsenal.
When quizzed on why Liverpool haven't been able to replicate their heroics this time around, despite their investment, Neville asked: "Have they got to the top of the mountain, sometimes we've seen over the last 20 to 30 years, a team goes 'ah we did it' and have they basically relaxed. Is that what's happened? Are we questioning their mentality, there's a bit of me thinking it must be that."
Sturridge, running to the defence of his former club, chimed in with: "Well, no. Luis Diaz was one of the best players they had last season... the mystery is, Diaz was the best attacker from last season. [Mohamed] Salah set all of the records, yes. He was tenacious up front, pressing, scoring, creating. Trent Alexander-Arnold was the most creative right-back we've seen in the last 15 years in the Premier League... he doesn't play for the club anymore. Jarell Quansah, when Konate and Van Dijk aren't playing well, Quansah was there."
