It's still a team Liverpool should beat and should go through."So, I'm still 98 per cent. So, I still think Liverpool will go through But, this is a worry for the for the manager and the team.
What we saw tonight is what we saw in early on the group stages away to Galatasaray early on the season."This team is just a million miles off where it was supposed to be this season which was that we'd be talking about them in the same light the way we speak about Bayern Munich right now."That was the whole point of Liverpool spending over £400million in the summer was to go the next step from winning the Premier League to go and win the Champions League.Content cannot be displayed without consent"And we're talking about a team who have now got to change a deficit against Galatasaray, which I think they will, but I don't have any hope for Liverpool going any further than that if it's Paris Saint-Germain in the next round as I think it may be, and that's that for me is a big worry."Liverpool sits sixth in the Premier League table following its loss to bottom-placed Wolves last week. The club's title defense has long since collapsed and, while Carragher places considerable blame on the players, he believes it is Slot who could ultimately face the consequences."It's not just a defeat, I think the performances from Liverpool this season are a big worry for the manager," Carragher said."I think I said on this show in the group stage he's got to do something, he's got to change something.
He's tried everything really, in lots of different ways, but nothing seems to be able to work and it's just at no stage this season have I ever felt Liverpool were in control of a football match."It's either end-to-end basketball, so he wanted to stop that and change that, and then it becomes slow and boring and predictable. I don't think it dramatically changes."I really do think the makeup of the squad, how it's been put together, the lack of options in certain areas, is a is a big problem as well.
