Summary
- Liverpool trails league leaders by 14 points despite heavy investment.
- Manager Slot clashed with talisman Salah, fueling exit rumors.
- Carragher fears team struggles with set-pieces and counter-attacks.
Slot's second season at Anfield has been challenging, with Liverpool trailing league leaders Arsenal by 14 points. Despite substantial summer investment in players like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, the team's performance has been a poor defense of their Premier League title.

Jamie Carragher has delivered a stark assessment, emphasizing Liverpool's inability to cope with key Premier League elements such as set-pieces, counter-attacks, and low-block defenses. He expressed serious concerns about the team's potential to miss out on Champions League qualification.
