He was ANGRY and he went after Klopp: "Is it the end of a cycle?"
One of the biggest names in English football went after Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool squad for their performance against Napoli
Napoli's thrashing of Liverpool left consequences for Jurgen Klopp's team and the repercussions are big. Criticism of Liverpool's performance is tremendous and one of the harshest has been Jamie Carragher, Liverpool legend and now CBS Sports pundit. The former defender was very tough on the squad and especially with the defensive part of the team.
"The problem is not that game. Forget about this game. For me, the big concern is: is this going to continue throughout the season? Is it the end of a cycle? Liverpool in the summer transfers? Because this team seems to be very far from the level. It's embarrassing. It really is. I've said it before, they defend like children and this is the big problem right now, "said an explosive Carragher.
In turn, he added: "That energy doesn't exist now, so the back four have to adapt and they have to go back three or four metres. That's all we're talking about. But if they keep playing like that they're going to have a big problem", speaking in terms of Liverpool's Premier League campaing and qualifying for the next round of the Champions League, "Are we facing a massive physical decline due to the way of playing and the intensity of the last five or six years? That's suicidal football".
For his part, Jurgen Klopp said: "It was a very disappointing night, so I have to apologize to the fans. The problems we had were obvious. The first of all is that Napoli played a really good game and we played a really bad one. It was really hard to accept, but not that hard to explain when you watched the game".
