He's looking at the top of Virgil van Dijk; I actually think he's just clumsy and he doesn't realise where his feet are going."I think he thinks; 'I'm gonna leave one on him'. And I almost think he's not even aware of where his foot is going, and he's just caught him on the back."And when you see it there it looks horrific and you can't almost say it's not a red card when you look at it like that, but I'm trying to put myself in his head and think what he was thinking and that thing of like, we've all done it as players where you think; 'I'll just give someone a shoulder barge'.""But because the difference in size is so big he's almost overdone it and he's just got clumsy where his foots gone.

But when you look at that as a still [image], it looks horrific."When pressed on whether VAR should have maintained the referee's initial decision of a yellow card, Carragher continued: "Listen, I can't say it's not a red card, but if you're asking me would I rather that be a red card or [Rodrigo] Bentancur's challenge on [Milos] Kerkez, then it would be Bentancur's challenge on Kerkez in the second half every day of the week."While Arne Slot will be delighted with securing three points on the road, the Dutchman won't be pleased with fitness worries surrounding Alexander Isak.
