Jermaine Jenas criticised Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate during their 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
The pair were blasted by the former Tottenham Hotspur man amongst other members of the Reds’ defence for the avoidable goal they conceded, gifting Phillip Billing a relatively straightforward strike.
Now, Jermaine Jenas has slated both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as Liverpool lost to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

Steve McManaman also slated his former club for what has been a ‘false dawn’ for them after their thumping victory against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.
While many expected Jurgen Klopp and Co. to use their astounding win at Anfield as a springboard for bigger and better things, that has simply not been the case as they suffered yet another poor day at the office.
Speaking during the contest, Jermaine Jenas was critical of Liverpool twosome Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate for their performances in their side’s latest defeat against Bournemouth.

“The sharpness is not there defensively, especially from the two centre-backs for Liverpool”, he said, as quoted by BBC Sport.
It’s impossible to disagree with Jermaine Jenas
For Phillip Billing’s goal, the Dutch skipper seemed to have given up in the chase to stop the cross from coming in, while his partner could have done better to stop the delivery from being placed right in front of the matchwinner.
Keeping that in mind, Jermaine Jenas is right in criticising both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate for their displays against Bournemouth.
The pair constantly got sucked in way further forward than they should have been and while that may be a result of the side’s high-line, their individual showings makes it hard to defend either defender.
