Jamie Carragher Delivers Brutal Verdict as Liverpool Drop to 12th
Liverpool’s season has taken another frustrating turn, and this time the criticism is coming from one of the club’s most respected voices. After a disjointed and lethargic performance that saw Liverpool fall to 12th in the Premier League table, Jamie Carragher has delivered a furious assessment of the current squad.
The former Reds defender did not hold back, describing the display as “embarrassing” and singling out only two players — Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai — as the ones who played with any real purpose.
In his emotional statement, Carragher said:
“I’m beyond disappointed today. Sitting 12th on the Premier League table is an embarrassment. Only TWO players — Gakpo and Szoboszlai — showed up, only two brought any real energy. The whole team should be built around them if we ever want better results in the future. As for the rest? They should hide their heads in shame. Absolute disgrace.”
The message was loud, painful, and brutally honest — Liverpool are in serious trouble, and only two players looked like they understood the urgency.
Why Carragher Singled Out Gakpo and Szoboszlai
According to multiple match analysts and insiders, both players were the only bright sparks in an otherwise flat Liverpool performance.
Cody Gakpo, deployed centrally, drove the ball forward, pressed consistently, and created the clearest chances of the match.
Dominik Szoboszlai, meanwhile, was the only midfielder showing real intensity — covering ground, winning duels, and trying to inject tempo into a team that looked completely out of rhythm.
Carragher believes both players represent the future of the squad — the kind of intensity and ambition Liverpool must rebuild around.
An insider close to the pundit revealed:
“He thinks Gakpo and Szoboszlai played like they cared. He’s convinced these two could be the foundation of Liverpool’s next era if the club recruits properly around them.”
A Squad Lacking Responsibility and Fight
Carragher’s frustration stems from what he described as a total absence of commitment from several senior players:
- Slow recovery runs
- Zero pressing intensity
- Lack of communication
- Poor decision-making in the final third
- Defensive chaos under minimal pressure
He believes the overall performance reflected deeper issues:
“This isn’t about tactics; it’s about attitude,” he reportedly told colleagues.
“These players didn’t show hunger. Liverpool can’t move forward with passengers.”
What This Means for Arne Slot and the Liverpool Board
Carragher’s comments have ignited fresh debate about whether Liverpool need urgent January reinforcements.
Sources inside the club say:
- Slot was disappointed with the team’s lack of energy
- The board is considering accelerating transfer plans
- Two key positions have already been flagged for urgent reinforcements
- Several underperforming players could be sold next summer
There is now genuine concern that if immediate changes are not made, Liverpool’s season could collapse entirely.
Fan Reactions: Anger, Disbelief, and Agreement
Liverpool fans have taken to social media to vent their frustration:
“Gakpo and Szobo were the only ones trying. The rest were sleepwalking.”
“Carragher is spot on. This is embarrassing.”
“12th on the table? This squad needs a serious shake-up.”
Many supporters believe Carragher’s honesty is exactly what the club needs right now — not excuses or sugar-coating.
What Comes Next?
With the international break approaching, Liverpool now enter a period of self-reflection and urgent reassessment.
Internal meetings are expected to take place between Slot, the sporting department, and ownership to address:
- Player attitude
- Tactical progression
- Transfer necessities
- Squad leadership
If performances don’t improve immediately after the break, drastic decisions may follow.
Final Takeaway
Jamie Carragher’s message was clear:
Only Gakpo and Szoboszlai showed true Liverpool spirit.
The rest embarrassed the badge.
And unless something changes quickly, the season could spiral further.
