Jamie Carragher slammed Kyle Walker following Manchester City’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool, stating that the champions are now in crisis. City’s winless streak has now reached seven games after being thoroughly thrashed by Arne Slot’s team, which built up a nine-point lead over Arsenal at the Premier League summit with two goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.
Pep Guardiola has cut a disgruntled figure in recent weeks as a result of City’s present woes, and a fifth consecutive title now appears out of reach, with Liverpool 11 points ahead of them. Carragher believes City are in crisis as a result of their most recent setback. “It’s a minor dilemma for Manchester City. “I think it’s similar to Liverpool two years ago,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “I honestly believe Manchester City will compete for a spot in the top four.
Carragher blames Man City star after 2-0 defeat
Carragher believes the England international full-back is switching off a lot on the field, and it is not due to his age. Carragher explained to Sky Sports that Walker does not look around and react swiftly when opponents make runs behind him. He went on to say that the problem has persisted throughout his 34-year career.
“He has the ability to switch off, which has always been a weakness of his. He doesn’t look back and turns off.” That has been a problem throughout his career. This has nothing to do with his age. “He has become a little bit of a liability for Manchester City,” he said. He made this statement following Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
