Jamie Carragher Makes Liverpool Confession Ahead Of World Cup Break

Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher has agreed with Graeme James Souness that Liverpool may only get worse with the situation of things.

Speaking after the game on Saturday night, Carragher said; “It’s a huge result for Leeds but Liverpool have got massive problems.”

“Leeds fans know how big a result this is. It’s so long since anyone’s won at Anfield. They’re going to milk it and rightly so. It will do wonders for them, in terms of the league table. This isn’t a blip for Liverpool, this is a serious problem.

“There’s no doubt that the goalkeeper in the last 10-15 minutes has kept Leeds in it but if you look at the whole game you can’t say Leeds haven’t deserved to get something from it. They’ve been fantastic.

“Klopp must be thinking, what else can I try now? Different permutations, formations, personnel…”

According to Graeme James Souness on the other hand, Liverpool’s midfield “just don’t have it in their legs anymore” and “don’t play with the same intensity”.

“Liverpool are a country mile from where they were over the last few years. In many instances, Leeds were more than a match for Liverpool and they did to Liverpool what they had been doing to teams for years.

“Liverpool basically bullied teams before, their midfield bullied teams. And now they’re being bullied. That’s making them vulnerable at the back, and they’re not creating the same chances up front.

“Liverpool are a shadow [of the team they used to be].

“Liverpool still had enough chances to win the game, but they are not like the Liverpool we’ve seen for the last five years. They don’t play with the same intensity and just don’t have it in their legs anymore.”
