Carragher: Liverpool's Tactic Was Massively Flawed
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher expressed his disappointment with Arne Slot's tactics in the Reds' 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, stating that the manager got it 'massively wrong'. Carragher believes that Slot's decision to switch to a back five and use man-to-man marking exposed Virgil van Dijk and left Liverpool vulnerable to PSG's attacks. The French side's superiority was evident, with Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scoring the goals. Carragher thinks that Van Dijk will be pleading with Slot to never use the back five system again, as he was left uncomfortable and exposed. Despite the loss, Slot remains optimistic, stating that Liverpool is still in the tie and can turn it around at Anfield. He also explained his decision to leave Mohamed Salah as an unused substitute, citing the need to save his energy for upcoming games.
