Carragher: Liverpool's Tactical Approach Was 'Massively Wrong'

According to Jamie Carragher, Liverpool's manager Arne Slot made a significant tactical error in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain, which resulted in a 2-0 loss for the Reds. Carragher stated that Slot's decision to use a back five and man-to-man marking left Virgil van Dijk exposed and uncomfortable. The former Liverpool defender believes that Van Dijk will be urging Slot not to use this system again. Liverpool's poor performance has raised concerns about the team's season, with Carragher describing the gulf in class between the two teams as 'startling' and 'worrying'. Slot acknowledged that Liverpool were fortunate to only lose by two goals, given the number of chances PSG had. He also explained that he left Mohamed Salah as an unused substitute to save his energy for upcoming games.
