Liverpool managed to beat Tottenham 6-3 at the weekend and continued their impressive run in the Premier League.
The team is at the top of the league table, four points behind Chelsea, and has a game in hand.
Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz each scored two goals for the Reds against Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham, while the other goals came from Alexis McAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
It was one of the best attacking performances for Arne Slott's side this season, but defensively they struggled and conceded three goals.
They have usually been strong in defense this season, but due to the injury suffered by Ibrahima Konate, their defense looked shaky.
McAllister revealed after the win over Tottenham how the players were dissatisfied with their defensive performance and they had a meeting in the dressing room about it after the match.
Speaking to BBC Sport, according to what was reported He crossesHe said:
“We talked about it in the locker room. We are not happy with the fact that we conceded three goals, that's very clear, but we scored six, and that's not easy.”
“Tottenham are a good team, they press hard, they are aggressive, we knew we had to put the ball back and score the chances we had.
“We are happy with the result, there are many things to improve but we are happy to get the three points. At the back we have to play simple and pass the ball to them (the strikers). We have been working on this all week and we are trying to improve every day.
“We know that we have to concede fewer goals, and we are not happy about conceding three goals today, but that is the way it is, we are playing against really good teams. Maybe we should defend better but we also know that we are dangerous when we attack.”
Liverpool's defense needs massive improvement
The Reds have now conceded nine goals in their last five games after previously showing strong defensive displays.
Andy Robertson's poor form is one reason why, as his red card against Fulham cost the Merseyside club two points in the match at Anfield.
Slott will be hoping to get Konate back as soon as possible as his partnership with Virgil van Dijk has given Liverpool composure and strength in defence.
It's not something that should be a huge cause for concern for the Premier League leaders, but in their quest for the league title this season, they want to make improvements in this area and their ambition shows they will be working hard going forward.
