Liverpool, the culprit is designated

Is that the crisis in Liverpool? While the Reds had started the season with six in a row victories in the Premier League and in the Champions League, the two defeats conceded in Crystal Palace (2-1) and in Galatasaray (1-0) sowed doubt on the formation of Arne Slot.

“I don't feel like I'm watching a high -level team, Thus rape Jamie Carragher Tuesday evening on CBS Sports. I spoke to the manager very early; He knows it much better than me. He is obviously a fantastic manager. Liverpool was a high -level team, which killed hard work last season. They added a little glitter thanks to the transfers they made. And they won nothing offensively, but they have lost a lot defensively. »»

Florian Wirtz has been struggling since his arrival in Liverpool.

Liverpool would therefore have been weakened by carrying out the record for spending on a summer transfer window, flirting with the 500 million euros in expenses. This is what Jamie Carragher thinks, who does not necessarily point to the new pair of side (the very offensive Kerkez and Frimpong), but rather a midfielder.
“For the moment, I do not think that the balance of the team is good, and the one for whom it is most seen is Florian Wirtz. »»

Liverpool, a problem named Florian Wirtz?

Bought at gold prices (125 million euros), the former Leverkusen player shines with his technical qualities, but he is shy in the area of ​​truth, and too little decisive (no goal and no assist for the moment). Carragher does not want to bury the German international, but he militates for the return of the most hard -working Dominik Szoboszlai as an axial attacking midfielder.

“It is simply not at the level, Carragher judge about Wirtz. It is a young person who arrives in a new championship; He still has a lot of time in front of him as a Liverpool player, but for the moment, I think he must leave the eleven, that Liverpool finds his level of last season and that from there, the team gain confidence and strengthens his defense. »»

You might think that the former Reds defender reacts a little hard after simply two defeats. But Liverpool's series of victories, with practically only victories acquired after the 85th minute of play, was a trompe-l'oeil for Carragher. In particular, we must remember the match in Newcastle, and this passage from 2-0 to 2-2 to 11 against 10 (“It can't happen”), or the multitude of opportunities for Crystal Palace last Saturday. There is still time to correct the shot.
