Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has questioned Jurgen Klopp’s “tone” as he criticized Liverpool fans following the club’s 5-1 League Cup win over West Ham.
A brace from Curtis Jones and goals from Dominic Soboslay, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah saw the Reds beat the Hammers and reach the semi-finals of the League Cup. However, Klopp criticized the atmosphere in Liverpool’s fans after the game and called for improvement against Arsenal this weekend.
“I don’t like the atmosphere behind me,” Klopp said. “I thought about what they want.”We have to protect Anfield without being separated from the manager.
“If you’re not in uniform, give your ticket to someone else.”And Carragher believes Klopp knew what he was doing when he criticized Liverpool fans, but warned his “tone” could be a little off.
Carragher wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph: “I can understand Klopp’s desire to ensure the noise level matches Arteta’s expectations as Liverpool manager.
Klopp assured us this would happen in his comments after the West Ham game, but we’re not sure if his tone was right.“If you look at the home record since Klopp took over and compare it to what happened during the lockout, you can see the difference in the supporters. Liverpool have lost six consecutive games at home behind closed doors.
With their fans, they have only lost once at Anfield since 2017. Klopp has used this weapon better than any Liverpool manager in the last 33 years.”I don’t think Klopp made that statement on purpose because Arsenal are next.
He wanted to tell them how Saturday night was. This is the perfect time to create a special atmosphere. Did anyone mention mind games yet? “This strategy also shows that Klopp is more optimistic about Liverpool’s title chances than he was in the first half of the season.
“This year’s title race is more interesting because it is so immature. If you talk to Arsenal and Liverpool fans, they worry that their team is not theirs.And Carragher believes Liverpool’s win against Arsenal means fans can be confident the Reds are “well ahead of schedule and able to play quickly”.
“There is nothing decisive this weekend,” Carragher said. We have a good idea of where both teams stand and Manchester City will be keen to see how desperate their opponents are to take advantage of their absence.
Liverpool and Arsenal will surely tire in the next six games. A few weeks before his arrest. year.”A win at Liverpool caps off a potentially decisive week and would provide the strongest evidence yet that Klopp’s recovery is ahead of schedule and could pay immediate dividends.
“But a win at Arsenal would put us as favorites to end their 20-year wait for the title in 2024.”Neither manager plays down the importance of the game and I think both managers will send the same message before the game: ‘This is Anfield.’
