Carragher's comments came after Liverpool's 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League. This defeat follows a previous loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Carragher believes that the team is not playing football, but rather a different sport, possibly comparing their style to basketball.
Carragher praised Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, for his work last season, when the team won the Premier League. However, he believes that the manager needs to address several issues, including the team's defensive problems. Carragher also mentioned that the team's recent transfers have not improved their forward play, but have instead led to a decline in defensive performance.
Carragher specifically mentioned Florian Wirtz, a £125m signing from the Bundesliga, who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League. He believes that Wirtz is a talented player who deserves more support from the team and more opportunities to play to his strengths. Carragher thinks that Wirtz is facing a tough time adjusting to the faster pace and physicality of the Premier League, but he is confident that the player will eventually find his footing.
Carragher suggested that the team should go back to their previous style of play, which was more stable and confident, and try to build on that foundation. He believes that this will help the team regain their confidence and improve their overall performance.
Carragher's comments highlight the challenges that Liverpool are facing, both on and off the pitch, as they try to regain their form and succeed in the Premier League.
