Nevertheless, Carragher was taken aback by the timing of the Premier League-winning boss's exit.He told Sky Sports: "I was surprised, a lot that has been coming out of the club was that the manager was saying. I think it's sudden, caught everyone off guard including Arne Slot."I was torn on Arne Slot, I must say, I would've backed any decision and I can see both sides of the argument but an elite football manager finds a way to fix Liverpool to make it better but he wasn't helped with recruitment, have anyone of them done well?"You could put that on the manager, does he need to get more out of them?



There are still huge question marks, the football is something Liverpool want to get to, high intense football, but it's not all about that when you're Liverpool manager. He's fantastic at that but with the ball, dealing with low blocks."Carragher added that Liverpool's next manager will be expected to win the league title: "My worry is can you play at that intensity when you're playing every three days?

Liverpool had a manager who won the league, that's why I was always torn, whoever comes in is a risk but Liverpool did have a manager who won the league."What became Slot's final months in charge were overshadowed by Mohamed Salah's very public criticism of the head coach, as he cut short a lucrative two-year deal at Anfield.The Egyptian said an emotional goodbye to Liverpool supporters after a record-breaking nine years last Sunday, yet still managed to fire a parting shot at the Reds' hierarchy, warning of a decline in standards at Anfield.Carragher was vocal in his condemnation of the Liverpool icon's behaviour. I'm not happy with that, I don't ever want Liverpool Football Club to have player power to speak out about a manager who won the Premier League."What manager does it help when a star player comes out publicly criticising the manager, that shouldn't happen no matter the situation."Maybe it's forced the clubs' hand but the performances have been poor, my fear was that Liverpool might have a situation where Man United have been where they have a manager they're unsure about, stick with him in the summer and end up changing it two months later, you almost wasting a year."I don't know what goes on in the dressing room, I didn't like Mo Salah's post, I didn't think he should come out publicly.
