Liverpool have lost three straight games in all competitions but their former player Jamie Carragher had noticed cracks starting to appear long before the weekend defeat at ChelseaA second successive Premier League defeat saw Liverpool drop off the top of the table as we head into the international break and former Reds star Jamie Carragher has seen the same problems for a while. Arne Slot led his team to maximum points from their first five matches, but they conceded a last-gasp winner at Crystal Palace and then did the same against Chelsea on Saturday.In between those two league matches, Slot's Reds lost to Galatasaray in the Champions League and showed some of the same leaks.

"This thing about it being end to end in a game of football, Liverpool should be dominating a game like this with the changes of personnel Chelsea have got."Carragher said Liverpool are "too easy to play through", and suggested that was true even when they were winning games. But right now Liverpool went from, I would call them a top team, workmanlike team last season and they have sprinkled a little bit of star dust on it terms of the transfers that they have brought in.

Last week, same as this week two difficult away games, the fine margins haven't been in our favour."In both games we've created more chances than the team we have faced - Palace and Chelsea - but the truth is that we have only scored once in both games and our opponent has scored twice."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
