However, the former defender has once more taken aim at the centre-half for his part in City's breakthrough.Haaland opened the scoring after Konate's attempted clearance ricocheted off the Norwegian before sailing over Giorgi Mamardashvili.Carragher believes the 26-year-old is battling for confidence on the road as he bemoaned the defender's choice not to deal with the threat."I just want to look at this match up in the middle between Konate and Haaland.

Konate was heavily involved in the penalty again, he's having a really tough time and it feels like we're saying it week after week," he said."It's a bit of luck for Man City because Haaland doesn't know much about it. Look at Haaland's jump compared to Konate, he's trying to flick the ball on and as a defender, that's a last resort."He's not even off the ground and he's trying to flick it on, go and get as high as you can and head that ball away.

I don't understand at all what he's trying to do. Konate, again, when Liverpool concede a goal or a problem, he is at the heart of it."He's got a big problem away from home, which is when you need your centre backs, your centre backs need to play well to get results and too many times he's gone missing."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
