UCL: 'It's a Mess, You're Playing Basketball' - Carragher Blasts Liverpool

Liverpool suffered back-to-back defeats under Arne Slot after a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray, with Victor Osimhen scoring a penalty and a late Liverpool penalty overturned by VAR.

  • On Tuesday, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot rested Mohamed Salah as Liverpool lost 1-0 to Galatasaray at RAMS Park in Istanbul after a first-half penalty.
  • Slot appeared to prioritise upcoming fixtures, as his selection suggested he was saving players for Saturday's Chelsea clash after last week's 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace.
  • A revised referee decision and key injuries left Liverpool short as Alisson Becker exited injured, Giorgi Mamardashvili replaced him, and a late penalty on Ibrahima Konate was overturned while Hugo Ekitike suffered a hamstring issue.
  • The defeat intensifies scrutiny on Arne Slot as Liverpool suffered back-to-back defeats for only the second time under him, despite a 450m summer spend, prompting Jamie Carragher's criticism.
  • Galatasaray's home resurgence positions them well in the group after their first Champions League win in seven years, while Liverpool prepare for matchday three away at Eintracht Frankfurt on October 22 and host Chelsea this Saturday.
