The post-mortem is well underway on Merseyside, with supporters and pundits alike offering their views on how Slot came to find himself out of a job just one year after guiding the club to the Premier League title.In Liverpool.com's latest news round-up, a former Red has weighed in on the unfolding situation at Anfield, while a decision has also been reached regarding another player linked with a departure.Carragher voices concernAnfield legend Jamie Carragher admitted he was caught off guard by Slot's dismissal, and believes responsibility for the entire affair lies with a number of parties.He told Sky Sports: "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 any one of them done well? 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 criticizing the manager?



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. Players have lots of different managers, but you don't go out on social media and do it publicly or put clapping emojis when someone's having a go at your own manager.

That probably tells you what's going on in the Liverpool dressing room right now."Carragher also suggested that Liverpool's incoming manager will face pressure to deliver the league title, while expressing concern that managing the demands of a packed fixture schedule might not suit all the potential candidates reportedly being considered.He continued: "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."Gomez to remainAccording to The Athletic, Joe Gomez will be remaining at Anfield to fulfill the final year of his contract, meaning he will depart next summer rather than this one.The long-serving defender joined the Reds in 2015 and had attracted interest from AC Milan last summer and Newcastle in 2024.
