Liverpool Legend Defends Arne Slot Against Criticism

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has defended manager Arne Slot, arguing that squad issues and the decline of key players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are the primary reasons for the team's inconsistent form.

Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher suggested that the squad is not well-balanced and questioned whether another manager could get more out of the current group. 'I don’t think it’s all his fault,' Carragher said. 'I think any manager now managing this squad with Salah not being the same player as last season. Van Dijk’s not quite the same player as last season as well.'

Despite the dip in results, Carragher believes the problems extend beyond the touchline, highlighting a need for patience as the team evolves.
