Jamie Carragher blames Liverpool's midfield for defensive frailties

Jamie Carragher has branded Liverpool's midfield as a big reason for their poor form.

The Reds are ninth in the Premier League table with just two wins from seven games so far this season, and drew 3-3 with Brighton on Saturday as they continued to struggle without the ball.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher suggested his former side's midfield three expose their defence too often, branding their defensive shape 'open and organised'.
