'They are in major trouble': Paul Merson says Liverpool's failure to follow up their win over Man City with results against Nottingham Forest and Leeds is 'inexcusable'... as Arsenal legend says teams are no longer 'scared' of them

Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has criticised Liverpool for their start to the season and said that Jurgen Klopp's side are no longer feared by opponents.

Klopp watched on on Saturday night as his team fell to a second consecutive defeat - their fourth of the season so far - against Leeds having lost against Nottingham Forest the weekend prior.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson declared Liverpool in 'major trouble' as they look to navigate their way out of the choppy waters and added that the tiredness the players are suffering from is also affecting their manager.
