Manchester United legend Roy Keane does not think Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team have done enough over the years “to be classed as a great team”.
2022-23 has been a woeful campaign for the Reds – who are now very unlikely to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Their form has caught many by surprise after they were two games away from winning a historic quadruple last season.
Sunday’s enthralling draw at home to league leaders Arsenal has left Liverpool eighth, 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
Following the match, Sky Sports pundits Micah Richards, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Keane were all asked if it is the end of an era at Anfield and the conversation quickly changed to whether or not Klopp’s Liverpool will be remembered as a “great team”.

Champions League winners in 2018-19. Remember they got 97 points – just pipped by Manchester City.
“The following year, 99 points to win the Premier League. And then that drop off, with a couple of domestic cup wins in 2021-22. They were chasing four trophies.
“If this is the end, Roy, for this team… are we remembering them as a great Liverpool team?”
Keane – who won seven league titles, four FA Cups, and a Champions League with Manchester United –…
