Jamie Carragher Highlights the ‘Sackable’ Mistake Arne Slot Made in the Loss to PSV

Jamie Carragher didn’t hold back during Liverpool’s clash with PSV Eindhoven.

The former Reds defender branded one of Arne Slot’s decisions a “sackable offence” after Liverpool’s bruising 4-1 Champions League defeat on Wednesday night.

Liverpool fell behind early after Ivan Perisic scored a sixth-minute penalty, though Dominik Szoboszlai briefly levelled the score. However, PSV tore through Liverpool in the second half, exploiting their defensive issues and netting three unanswered goals, with Couhaib Driouech grabbing a brace.

The performance drew heavy criticism, including from Dietmar Hamann, who blasted Mohamed Salah for what he described as a “disgraceful” moment. Carragher also voiced his frustration on CBS Sports, insisting Slot had made a major error.

He aimed his criticism at Ibrahima Konaté, saying Slot’s choice to keep selecting the defender was unacceptable. In a CBS Sports clip, Carragher is seen venting on the phone before shouting: “I’ve f**king had enough of them, honest to God. That Konaté… that’s a sackable offence for the manager to keep picking him. He should be sacked for that.”

Pressure on Slot continues to grow after three straight defeats. Carragher questioned whether the PSV loss might be the point where fans start losing faith in the Dutchman.

“It hasn’t just been one bad night — it’s been like this all season,” he said. “We said after the first Champions League group game that this sort of result was coming. Liverpool don’t usually sack managers, especially ones who’ve won the league. I don’t think it’s ever happened in their history.

“But I think a lot of supporters tonight will be wondering if we’re at that point now. It’s unbelievable to even think that, considering how incredible his first season was.”

Liverpool will now try to salvage their faltering league form when they take on Crystal Palace on Sunday.
