Liverpool are in ‘crisis mode’ says club legend

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says he thinks his former club are in “crisis mode” after a run of four Premier League defeats in a row.

The Reds were beaten 3-2 at Brentford on Saturday and are now seven points behind league leaders Arsenal. 

“To see the champions lose four games in a row in the Premier League with the expenditure in the summer, I think we’re in crisis time for Liverpool right now,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.

“Losing four games in a row for Brentford would be a disaster. For any promoted team… you can’t lose four on the bounce.

“There will be a lot of serious questions asked in the dressing room the manager and the coaching staff and also the people above the manager and the players.

“When they’ve looked at what they’ve spent, the players they’ve gone out and got they’ll be looking for a lot more.”

Carragher highlighted a lack of physicality as a key area where Liverpool are falling short.

“Liverpool have to look at the physicality and height within their team going forward because, right now, I don’t think they have enough of it,” he said.
