A Liverpool icon, Jamie Carragher, has voiced worries about the team’s present performance, cautioning that recent results might indicate a problem at Anfield.

As reported by Sky Sports on Monday, the former Liverpool defender stated, “Losing four matches in a row would be a catastrophe for Brentford. It’s concerning to see the champions struggling despite the spending during the summer, which indicates that Liverpool is currently facing a critical situation.”

A number of significant questions will be raised in the locker room among the players, coaching team, and those higher up than the manager. Once they review their expenditures, they will expect a great deal more.

Carragher pointed out the team’s defensive weaknesses, indicating that Liverpool are missing strength and stature in crucial positions.

“Liverpool need to consider the physical strength and height in their squad because, at the moment, I don’t believe they have sufficient,” he emphasized.

From his perspective, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville mentioned that Arne Slot’s Liverpool team somewhat resembles the old Manchester United squad.

We experienced intense phases where we consistently seemed able to score, yet we were all over the place. One thing you can be sure of with Salah, Ekitike, Wirtz, Isak, Gakpo, and others, is that they will find the back of the net. However, the rest of the team needs to focus on maintaining a solid defense and not being open all the time, leaving themselves vulnerable. It feels like starting from scratch, but sometimes that’s necessary. When everything is chaotic and unpredictable, which it currently is for Liverpool, you just have to establish a strong base.

That implies putting players on the field who can maintain a tight back four, block space, win one-on-one battles, take set pieces effectively, and avoid conceding simple goals. Play the ball forward a little faster than before and stop passing it through the middle. Be more straightforward, understanding that the top three will secure victories for you.

“Perhaps it’s time for Arne Slot to make things simpler. If he continues to field Kerkez on the left-back and Bradley on the right-back, and they are vulnerable in midfield, they will keep experiencing the same outcomes,” Neville stated.
