Jamie Carragher Perplexed by Arne Slot After Liverpool Call - 'I Can only Think'
Carragher said Slot was "flabbergasted" by the call as Liverpool lost 2-0 and exited 4-0 on aggregate.
- On Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League, winning 2-0 at Anfield to progress 4-0 on aggregate. The Reds crashed out of the quarter-final stage for the second consecutive season.
- Manager Arne Slot benched Mohamed Salah, starting Alexander Isak instead, who made his first start since suffering a broken leg in December. Salah entered only after Hugo Ekitike suffered a first-half injury.
- Jamie Carragher admitted he was 'flabbergasted' by the tactical choice, noting Isak was 'nowhere near fit.' Slot justified the decision, wanting two forwards Liverpool could 'play into' while chasing two goals.
- Following a season described as 'shambolic,' Slot's position remains in doubt as injuries continue to plague the squad. Ekitike suffered a suspected ruptured Achilles while Isak was replaced at half-time after an ineffective 45 minutes.
- Liverpool's attention turns to securing a Champions League spot for next season, beginning with a Merseyside derby against Everton on Sunday at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Reds sit fifth in the Premier League with a four-point cushion over Chelsea.
