Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has said that Arne Slot’s team is currently playing like a side from a lower division. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the scoreline should have been five or six last night in the UCL, and he doesn’t believe Liverpool can turn the result around at Anfield.
He added that the gulf in class against the French champions was very worrying from a Liverpool point of view.
His words, “That was like watching a team from a lower division.
It was actually a great result for Liverpool, because it could have been, and should have been, five or six.
The gulf in class was very worrying from a Liverpool point of view.
How has it gotten that bad?
The manager has tried something but he’s got it massively wrong tactically, how he went about it.
They were actually more open with the back five than they would be with the back four because they went man-to-man all over the pitch and the three centre backs had to cover the width of the pitch.
But, what I must also say is that it’s not just the system of Liverpool and getting it wrong tactically, PSG were absolutely out of this world. It was like watching Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
