SEVILLE, Spain -- Ultimately, when you concede two goals from crosses into the penalty area, it is difficult to absolve defenders from the blame, and there is never any shortage of finger-pointing towards Liverpool's back four when the ball ends up in the back of their net.
There are some basics that every defence has to master and, no surprise here, Liverpool's failure to do the most simple of tasks in their 18-yard box is costing them time after time, just as it did in the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, with Sevilla overturning a 3-0 half-time deficit to claim a remarkable 3-3 draw following Guido Pizarro's stoppage-time equaliser.
