He’s confusing the entire squad… and the manager can’t even see it because he’s his favourite!”
That was the explosive claim from Jamie Carragher after Liverpool’s painful defeat to PSV — and he didn’t hold back for a single second.

LIVERPOOL NEWS 🔥
“
Jamie Carragher came out blazing after the final whistle, dropping a scathing assessment that left fans, pundits, and even the studio crew momentarily speechless. The Liverpool icon didn’t just criticise — he unleashed a full-on verbal missile aimed at one Reds star he believes completely disrupted the team’s rhythm tonight.

Carragher, never one to sugar-coat, said live on air:

“He’s confusing the whole team. And the manager… he can’t see it because that’s his favourite player. They lost today because of him.”

It wasn’t analysis.
It wasn’t commentary.
It was a detonation.

PSV smelled weakness and punished Liverpool all evening, and according to Carragher, one player made their job embarrassingly easy. The pundit accused the unnamed star of slowing down Liverpool’s attacks, losing simple passes, drifting into wrong positions, and throwing the entire system off balance — all while Arne Slot refused to substitute him.

Carragher doubled down:

“Anyone else gets taken off at halftime. But when you’re the manager’s golden boy… you stay on, and the team pays the price.”

Fans didn’t disagree. Within minutes, social media was flooded with frustrated supporters calling the display “chaotic,” “confidence-killing,” and “the reason PSV dominated.”

This moment puts massive pressure on Arne Slot. Carragher’s criticism didn’t just target the player — it questioned Slot’s loyalty, judgement, and team selection. It raised a bigger issue:
Is Liverpool suffering because favourites are being protected, even when performances drop?

Tonight wasn’t just another disappointing European night.
It felt like a warning siren.

One weak link can collapse a system.
And Liverpool’s system looked on the brink.

With the season already shaking, Slot now faces a huge decision: keep backing the player who struggled tonight… or make the hard call that could steady the ship.

Either way, the fallout from Carragher’s outburst is only just beginning — and Liverpool fans will be demanding answers long after the noise around this defeat settles.
