'Everyone wants to play Liverpool' - Premier League champions an 'easy touch' for rivals, claims Souness

Liverpool have become an "easy touch" for their rivals, according to Graeme Souness, who says "everyone wants to play against" the reigning Premier League champions.

Jurgen Klopp's side suffered their fourth successive defeat at Anfield on Saturday, with Everton the latest side to get the better of a Liverpool team that continues to fall well short of the standards they set during their title-winning 2019-20 campaign.

The Reds dominated possession in the Merseyside derby clash but struggled to create any clear cut chances, with Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson scoring for the Toffees after swift counter-attacks, and Souness was scathing in his assessment of their performance.
