JAMIE CARRAGHER’S CANDID VERDICT ON WHY LIVERPOOL’S TITLE DEFENCE LOOKS FRAGILE
Jamie Carragher says Liverpool "can't win the league" with their current defence after a 2-1 loss to Man United. The Reds have conceded 2+ goals in three straight league games.
To further inflict additional suffering on the defending English champions, Harry Maguire leapt to the top and headed home a cross from Bruno Fernandes.
Despite creating several opportunities at Anfield, Carragher believes his old team is not at the top of their defensive game and has warned that it might cost them. Liverpool have now given up at least two goals in each of their previous three league games.
"Listen, they will start coming in two games, but when you say Liverpool's stats were a lot better than Manchester United's, they were always going to be before the game," he stated on Sky Sports.
It should not be a question of "Well, we were unlucky; look at how many opportunities we had, our xG was bigger, or we had more touches in the box," because Liverpool is a far superior team to Manchester United.
Liverpool is a far superior team to Manchester United, so you would anticipate that.
Therefore, it was always going to be that way if Manchester United were to visit Anfield and win. A little bit of luck here and there, perhaps a late goal.
"But in the first half, Manchester United had opportunities.
"Until they improve their defensive performance, Liverpool will not be able to win the league."
THE KONATé CROSSROADS: WHY ARNE SLOT IS DESPERATE TO KEEP LIVERPOOL’S DEFENSIVE PILLAR
Arne Slot confirms ongoing contract talks with Ibrahima Konaté! Read Virgil van Dijk's "world-class" verdict and transfer updates.
Liverpool is trying to lock down Ibrahima Konate on a new contract, and Arne Slot has made it pretty clear he wants the defender to stick around.
Right now, there’s a real risk they lose Konate for nothing next summer. He cost them £36 million, but his contract runs out soon, and if they don’t sort things out, he could just walk away.
Meanwhile, Liverpool haven’t been sitting on their hands. They brought in Giovanni Leoni last summer for £26 million, and they’ve already lined up Jeremy Jacquet for an initial £55 million. He’ll join up after the season ends. So, yeah, they’re planning for the future in that backline.
Still, Virgil van Dijk isn’t shy about what he thinks. After Konate’s standout performance in Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Sunderland, Van Dijk called him “world class” and said, “Obviously, I want him to stay.”
Slot says the club’s working on it: “We’re in talks with him, so you can see what we want. We want him here. It’s ongoing, so we’ll see where it ends up. We wouldn’t be negotiating if we didn’t want him.”
Liverpool went through all this last year too: Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all heading into the last stretch of their deals. The club managed to keep Van Dijk and Salah. Now Slot’s basically saying it’s Konate’s turn to decide.
Konate has played 33 times this season. Last month, after his father passed away, he even cut short his compassionate leave to face Newcastle. That says a lot.
And with all the injuries Liverpool have had, Slot’s just glad Konate and Van Dijk are still healthy. “He’s been as important as Virgil,” Slot said. “There’s a bit of an age gap, and that matters sometimes. Ibou’s had a good run with lots of strong games, even if earlier in the season, one mistake cost us a goal, and people judged him for that. But his partnership with Virgil has been really solid since I arrived. Both have stayed fit, touch wood. We need them, not just for their quality but because, honestly, we don’t have many options behind them.”
INJURY BLOW: WATARU ENDO RULED OUT FOR "CONSIDERABLE PERIOD" AFTER SUNDERLAND HORROR INJURY
Wataru Endo is out for a "considerable period." Discover Arne Slot’s latest update on the Liverpool injury crisis and right-back woes.
Arne Slot said that Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo will be out for a while.
The 33-year-old midfielder seemed to get seriously hurt during the second half of their 1-0 win against Sunderland on Wednesday.
Endo, who was playing his first Premier League game of the season, was filling in at right-back. He got hurt when his foot was pinned under him while he tried to clear the ball. The Japanese international tried to keep playing, but he soon collapsed in pain and needed oxygen as he was taken off the field.
Liverpool is having a lot of injury problems at right-back, and Slot said that Endo is the latest player to get hurt in that position.
Before the FA Cup game against Brighton on Saturday, Slot said, We still need to check things out, but he'll be out for a considerable period.
Endo was playing right back because Dominik Szoboszlai was sent off in the loss to Manchester City on Sunday. Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong are also out with injuries. Giovani Leoni and Alexander Isak are also injured for an extended time.
But there was good news for Slot, as Joe Gomez played for the first time in three games, replacing Endo on the right side of the defence.
Slot's update comes after he said, after the Sunderland gam,e that he wasn't sure how bad Endo's injury was, but he called it serious.
"We don't know how serious it is yet because we need to check it out, but it doesn't look good," Slot added.
I'm not sure if it's his ankle. It's his foot, but we have to check if it's his ankle or his foot. I think he'll be out for a really long time. It's hard to say exactly how long right now.
