That tells you all you need to know about the season the North London side is having.But while Arne Slot has not yet turned Liverpool into the worst of the so-called big six, and has inexplicably guided the team into a potential Champions League spot, there is now near-universal acceptance that something is going horribly wrong at Anfield.

While suggesting that any manager would potentially encounter similar issues with the squad that has been assembled, he did question Slot's use of two players in particular.READ MORE: Liverpool player ratings, winners and losers vs Tottenham as Szoboszlai good but 6 don't do enoughREAD MORE: Wayne Rooney makes feelings clear on Rio Ngumoha and what he spotted about Liverpool aceThe first was Alexis Mac Allister, whom he called a "real problem". Mac Allister was a player whom Jurgen Klopp was happy to rely on in his high-pressing system, and yet the intensity appears to have all but disappeared from his game, with the 27-year-old looking perpetually a yard off the pace.Alexis Mac Alllister is one of many who has underperformed for Liverpool under Arne Slot.(Image: Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)The second issue that Carragher picked out lies more squarely with Slot.

When he does play, it is usually from the bench, and Carragher has questioned Slot's latest substitution.“Curtis Jones comes on and the game goes end to end, he takes on the Wirtz role and I don’t know why, he’s not that player," Carragher said. "There’s too much space when the game opens up and Mac Allister can’t cover it."Curtis Jones struggled to impact the game as Liverpool threw away its lead late on against Tottenham.(Image: Steven Halliwell/MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images)Jones has caused a bit of a conundrum for successive managers now, with clear talent but no firmly-defined role.
