Overview
- Liverpool sit eighth after a sustained slump, with Carragher arguing the team "can’t handle the physicality" of the Premier League, especially away from Anfield.
- He urged the club to sign a centre-back in January, warning they are one injury from a defensive crisis following ACL damage to summer recruit Leoni.
- Carragher criticised the failure to land Marc Guehi on deadline day and said that decision "could cost" Liverpool.
- Identifying a need for power and pace out wide, he highlighted Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo as a target, citing a reported £65m release clause and his speed and strength.
- Despite spending about £400–446m on seven senior players in the summer, he said several arrivals have struggled to integrate and that Slot’s stylistic leanings suit Europe more than the league’s direct, set‑piece heavy trends.
