Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has hit out at Roy Keane for lambasting the club during their current downturn in form.
The Reds' Premier League title defence is grinding to a halt as they sit 13 points behind table-toppers Manchester City, having played a game more too.
Following their 4-1 defeat at home by City on February 7, Keane slammed Jurgen Klopp's side as 'bad champions'.

However, Hamann has leapt to the defence of his former side - taking aim at his old Manchester United midfield adversary instead.
