It is crisis time at Liverpool, no two ways about that, after the club suffered a humiliating defeat at Anfield on Saturday afternoon against Nottingh
It is crisis time at Liverpool, no two ways about that, after the club suffered a humiliating defeat at Anfield on Saturday afternoon against Nottingham Forest.
The club suffered their sixth defeat of the season, two more than the number of games they lost in the Premier League in the 2024-25 season.
The club’s horrible performances have shocked football fans after they splashed nearly 500 million pounds on established and talented players like Isak, Wirtz, Mamardasvilli, Ekitike and Frimpong.
Their addition to the already unbeatable squad gave Liverpool fans hope that they were going to win their 21st league title, but things have turned sour with the leaders of the team, Mo Salah and skipper Van Dijk, dropping in performances.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has criticised Salah for being quiet on the club’s unacceptable performances.
“After the Forest game, Virgil van Dijk has come out and spoken, as he should do as the captain,” Carragher said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
“On the back of all these Liverpool defeats, it’s always Van Dijk who comes out and speaks. The captain should do that, but there should be other players in that dressing room and speaking for the club.
“A year ago this weekend, Mo Salah wasn’t shy in speaking about his own situation and the club not offering him a contract. I only ever hear Salah speak when he gets man of the match or when he needs a new contract.
“I would like to see Salah as one of the leaders and legends of Liverpool come out and speak for the team,” Carragher concluded.
Mohamed Salah has failed to hit top form after securing a two-year contract renewal, where he receives 400k pounds per week.
Liverpool are in crisis, and Salah and Van Dijk are expected to lead the club’s revival.
