Jamie Carragher had some strong words for a certain Liverpool player during their recent match against Manchester United. In what was Arne Slot's first game as manager against United, Liverpool put on a dominant display, coming away with a comfortable 3-0 victory.
The game started off well for Liverpool, with Luis Diaz taking advantage of some mistakes from Casemiro to score two goals in the first half. Mohamed Salah, who had a hand in both of Diaz's goals, added a third for Liverpool with yet another strike against the Red Devils. The scoreline could have been even more impressive for Liverpool, but Dominik Szoboszlai squandered a great opportunity in the closing stages of the match.
This did not go unnoticed by Jamie Carragher, who was commentating on the game for Sky Sports. The Liverpool legend was clearly frustrated with Szoboszlai's decision-making, describing it as "unprofessional" and "ridiculous." He questioned whether the Hungarian midfielder was trying to show off with his fancy footwork instead of just putting the ball in the back of the net. Carragher also pointed out the potential consequences of Szoboszlai's actions, as a goal for United could have changed the game completely.
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville also chimed in, criticizing Szoboszlai for his lack of focus and calling it a "liberty." He even suggested that Szoboszlai would have been scolded for such behavior in training, let alone in a match at Old Trafford.
Despite the criticism towards Szoboszlai, it was a great day for Liverpool as they secured their third consecutive win and moved joint-top of the Premier League table. On the other hand, Manchester United's performance was lackluster, with costly errors leading to Liverpool's goals. Neville acknowledged this and also expressed concern for United's new owners, who may be questioning the team's progress.
In the end, it was a sobering day for United and their fans. Liverpool fully deserved the victory and showed why they are one of the top teams in the league. As for United, they will need to regroup and address their mistakes before their next match. It remains to be seen how the new ownership will respond to this defeat, but it's clear that there is still work to be done for the Red Devils.
