Liverpool may be going through its most difficult period under the direction of Arne Slot, with three defeats in a week, the latest against Chelsea (2-1) at Stamford Bridge. Despite a good start to the season in terms of accounting, flaws in the Reds game were quickly pointed out. Jamie Carragher, former emblematic defender of the club and now consultant, had already expressed his doubts after the first day, criticizing the balance of the team. Successive defeats against Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea only strengthened his concerns, especially on defensive fragility and lack of control in the game. What to push him to formulate strong criticism against the Dutch coach.

“Liverpool is not playing football right now, they are playing basketball. It's just back and forth, and I don't think the best teams play like thathe commented on the show Super Sunday extra timeon Sky Sports. I had already mentioned (my concerns about the Liverpool game) with the manager at the start of the season, and he obviously knows much more than me. It is obviously a fantastic coach. But currently, Liverpool has gone from a high -level team, very hardworking last season, to a team where we sprinkled a little magic thanks to new recruitments. Except that they have won nothing offensively, and they have lost a lot defensively. For the manager, last season happened as on casters. There he will really have to prove his value. He did it last year, winning the Premier League, it was incredible. But there, there are several problems to be resolved, and it will be really interesting to see how it is going to do it. »»
