Jamie Carragher has mentioned that Liverpool nonetheless have to show one factor specifically since Arne Slot took cost over the summer season.
The Dutchman has made a flying begin within the Anfield dugout, successful 9 of his first 10 matches, with the house defeat to Nottingham Forest final month the one blot on his copybook.
Carragher on Liverpool ‘fear’
Talking forward of this afternoon’s conflict in opposition to Chelsea, Carragher claimed that Slot’s Liverpool have but to indicate that they’ll rally late on in matches in the identical method that they so usually did beneath Jurgen Klopp.
The pundit mentioned on Sky Sports activities: “Usually if Liverpool had been shedding at dwelling beneath Jurgen Klopp, the final 15-20 minutes, the place can be like a madhouse with possibilities at both finish.
“The fear going ahead for Liverpool beneath Slot is, once they’re in video games like that – it may occur in the present day with 15-20 minutes to go – that’s nonetheless the one query in these early weeks. Might Liverpool break somebody down in the event that they want a purpose late on?”
Fortunately we haven’t wanted late heroics too usually beneath Slot
The excellent news is that there’s solely been one occasion to this point beneath Slot the place Liverpool have wanted to provide you with a late purpose to salvage a draw or win, though they couldn’t handle it on that event.
On that afternoon in opposition to Forest, the Reds by no means mounted any actual surge after Callum Hudson-Odoi’s sucker punch with slightly below 20 mintes remaining, with that purpose sufficient to safe victory for Nuno Espirito Santo’s workforce.
The best state of affairs is clearly that we don’t should be reliant on late salvage acts at Anfield such because the dramatic 4-3 win over Fulham final season after we had been coaching within the ultimate couple of minutes, as an alternative getting the job executed with time to spare in order that the stadium isn’t on tenterhooks.
Liverpool have made a latest behavior of doing simply sufficient to return away victorious, having been pushed all the best way by each Wolves and Crystal Palace, though the Reds confirmed the right response to giving up a sloppy purpose at Molineux.
The time will virtually inevitably come that we’re in want of one thing particular within the ultimate quarter-hour at dwelling to show dropped factors into victory. If we will try this in the present day, it’d lay down a marker of intent within the Premier League title race and reply in variety to Manchester Metropolis’s ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ antics earlier this afternoon.
