“Terrible end result and efficiency from Liverpool,” he wrote.
“The one comfort about getting beat so closely is Jurgen ought to play a full second string within the second leg and go all in for the league!”
Whereas there might have been a component of tongue-in-cheek from Carragher, the sentiment is one which little question many Liverpool followers would share.
A drained and disjointed show at Anfield, with six modifications to the facet, got here after a irritating 2-2 draw at Man United within the league, in a sport Liverpool ought to have put to mattress.
It might be argued, then, that Klopp doesn’t have the sources to push for trophies in each the Premier League and Europa League.
That might solely be on account of fatigue, after all, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Stefan Bajcetic and Diogo Jota returning to the squad in midweek and Alisson additionally rejoining full coaching.
With solely Thiago, Joel Matip and Ben Doak sidelined, Liverpool will discover themselves with essentially the most depth they’ve loved for a lot of the season.
The prospect of going “all in” to win the Premier League is, after all, offset by the challenges of Arsenal and Man Metropolis, with solely purpose distinction separating Liverpool and the Gunners and a degree between them and Metropolis.
