Jimmy Carager hit Liverpool “Incredible” and “very shock” in their 4-2 victory over Bournemouth – saying they will not keep their title in the Premier League if they continue these standards.
Liverpool won an emotional night in Anfield thanks to the late goals of Federico Chisa and Mohamed Salah – but they got a real intimidation by cherries as the Antoine Siminho team canceled the double goals in Antoino.
Siminho’s goals have witnessed that Liverpool fell – with Bournemouth’s second goal in seeing the young striker almost along the field before finding the lower corner.
Karager also struck in Abrahama Conte, who felt responsible for the weakness of defending both goals.
“It is incredible,” Caragir said on Friday night after the match. “It is great from Semenyo – but Liverpool faced this problem.
“How many players were leading to the ball – perhaps eight players – when they won 2-1? This couldn’t happen. It’s very terrible at this level.
“In order for Semenyo to run so on and to pay it away, it is incredible – but where is Konate?
Caragrant added that the defense of Liverpool was weak during his campaign before the season. There were similar goals that were waived in a 4-2 defeat against AC MILAN, while they also abdicated twice against Athletic Club and Crystal Palace in Community Shield.
The Sky Sports Pundit team was also criticizing the Liverpool defense in Wembley – and suggested Friday night that it is very easy for the difference to penetrate the ARNE Slot side.
“This is not true. This is not.” “It is the game only at the top of the community shield – but I watched enough football in my life. This idea is that everyone is proficient, it’s not for me. I don’t like it.
“At any time last week in Community Shield, I felt that Liverpool was controlling the game. You can draw 2-2 with a palace, this could happen. But how easy it is to get the Crystal Palace in Liverpool, and the ease of tonight.
“In the first half, Bournemouth should have been at least 2-0 in one stage.”
Does Liverpool now need the central back?
The poor defense in Liverpool comes as well as the club’s pursuit of the midfield in the last weeks of the window.
The RDS team received a signature of 26 million pounds, on the back of Parapa Giovanni Leoni on Friday – but they were also strongly associated with the move of the Crystal Palace Marc Guehi.
There is also the status of Konate – with the entry of the French international in the last year of his contract in Liverpool – amid rumors linking the defender to Real Madrid next season.
But Karraghir believes that any new defender will not fix the comprehensive Liverpool problem of being easy to attack.
“There is definitely a problem that ARNE SLOT must solve,” Caragir said.
People say they need a central back-back-back. It is not suitable. It takes the place of Konate.
“It comes to the team’s formation with two attackers and no 10 interested in exposure to the ball from the defense such as (Dominik) Szoboszlai was last season.
“If Liverpool continues like this, I don’t think they will win the league.”
The opening responds to “anxiety”
SLOT responded to Carraagher’s comment, saying that Liverpool is more likely to attack the counter due to the lack of Ryan Gravinvich, as Alexis Mac Alister also lacks intensity in the midfield.
“I am talking about a player who was not available last week and not this week. This is Ryan Gavinbash,” said Slot. Last season, it was very important at these moments.
“So with the return of Alexis Mac Allster only for two or three weeks at the time before the season, we have lost little of this midfield. But Ryan will return next week and MacCA will be tried. We will find a balance in the risk because it is against Palace, we lost two or three simple balls in front of the counter -attack.”
Responding to Caragraphs about Liverpool, threw a lot of bodies forward, Slot said he had no plans to change his philosophy.
“This is also from us and who we are – and for this reason we see such a beautiful game if you watch Liverpool,” said Reds coach. “We will not go to a low defense block.”
“This worries me a little bit, as you say that this is the team that we are, with the bodies of moving forward.”
“You are allowed to say this,” said Liverpool coach. “But then, you need to support a team that plays 11 players in their own box. I prefer to see (what Liverpool did against Bournemouth).
“But I prefer not to see ourselves as hostile to hostile – and I agree on it. But I love our players like to play football – last season, we were happy to watch. Paris Saint -Germain did similar things to this.”
