In an interview on a popular podcast, Carragher mentioned that Liverpool's struggles can be attributed to their inability to handle the physical demands of the Premier League. He stated that the team's style of play is incompatible with the current level of physicality in the league.

Carragher thinks that Liverpool need to improve their team with more players who can cope with the physicality of the Premier League. He suggests that signings with more pace, power, and physicality could be beneficial for the team.

Liverpool have been linked with several players, including defenders from Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, who could potentially provide the quality needed to boost the team's chances of winning the Premier League title.

The team's recent defeats to Crystal Palace, Brentford, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City are a concern for manager Slot, who will be looking to strengthen the squad in the coming months.

Liverpool's goal of qualifying for the Champions League is also at risk if the team fails to sign a defender in January. Slot will need to make some tough decisions to ensure the team's success.
