Jamie Carragher criticizes Liverpool star's performance after Newcastle win, points out another player's poor start.
Two Liverpool players have made a slow start to the Premier League season, according to Jamie Carragher, a former player for the club. Carragher expressed concern about the performances of Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate, despite their success in the previous season.
During a recent match against Newcastle, Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha made history by scoring the winning goal as the youngest-ever goalscorer for the club at 16 years and 361 days old. Carragher noted that although Liverpool secured a victory, there are areas that need improvement.
Carragher criticized Konate for his performance, stating that he had been inconsistent and made errors in crucial moments. He highlighted a specific incident where Konate failed to intercept a long ball, leading to an opposition goal. Carragher emphasized the importance of Virgil van Dijk's contributions to the team.
Konate's struggles continued in the match against Bournemouth, where he made mistakes that cost the team. With new signings like Giovanni Leoni and potential arrivals such as Marc Guehi, Konate faces competition for his position in the team. The club's coach, Arne Slot, will carefully consider his options before making any decisions.
