In the 4th week match of the UEFA Champions League season, Fenerbahçe defeated Liverpool 3-2 in the match where they fell behind. Fenerbahçe's goals came from Mason Greenwood, Archie Brown and Vedat Muriqi. Jamie Carragher, one of Liverpool's legendary names, made evaluations after the match and criticized the transfer and squad planning.
"A WORRYING PICTURE IS EMERGING"
Jamie Carragher, in his broadcast on CBS Sports after the match, said, "I think this shows once again that the squad Liverpool has is not at the level it should be, even though it is very expensive. Especially when you consider some of the new players who have joined the team, a worrying picture emerges for the club management."
Carragher continued:
"For example, Trey Nyoni, along with another young talent, Rio Ngumoha, were Liverpool's best players. They were the best performers against Chelsea about a week ago. However, the positions played by these young players intersect with the areas where Liverpool spent big money. Barcola, for which 120 million Euros were spent, could not deliver what was expected, and was ineffective despite being in the offensive line."
Continuing his criticism, Carragher said:
"On the other hand, players much younger than him are performing much better. When we look at the midfield, although Liverpool did not directly pay high transfer fees here, they signed very big contracts for names such as Ryan Gravenberch and Szoboszlai this summer. While Gravenberch could not even make the squad at the weekend, Szoboszlai, who played this evening, did not play well either."
"IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM"
