Jamie Carragher didn’t hold back following Liverpool’s disappointing defeat to Manchester City, publicly singling out two key figures he believes were at the heart of the collapse.

Speaking in his post-match analysis, the Liverpool legend made it clear that this wasn’t just about fine margins or bad luck — in his view, decisions and individual responsibility played a major role in why the Reds came away empty-handed.
Carragher first questioned the manager’s in-game choices, suggesting Liverpool lost control at a crucial moment due to poor tactical adjustments. According to him, City smelled weakness late on and ruthlessly exploited it — something elite teams always do.
But the criticism didn’t stop there.
Carragher also aimed his frustration at a senior Liverpool player, pointing out lapses in concentration and leadership when the pressure peaked. “At this level, one mistake is enough,” he hinted, stressing that big players must step up in big moments — especially against a side like Manchester City.
The defeat has intensified debate among fans, with many echoing Carragher’s concerns on social media. Questions are now growing louder about whether Liverpool are showing the composure and authority required to keep pace in the title race.
With crucial fixtures ahead, the spotlight is firmly on those two men Carragher highlighted — and how they respond could define Liverpool’s season.
