BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool Legend Launches Scathing Attack on Underperforming Star Following Leicester Win

Despite Liverpool edging past Leicester City with a narrow 1-0 victory, all the post-match focus has been drawn away from the three points and onto a brutal assessment made by a club legend.

Jamie Carragher, never one to shy away from honest punditry, delivered a stinging critique of one Liverpool star whose absence in recent weeks has coincided with an upturn in form. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Carragher didn’t hold back:

“He needs to cover his head in shame—because we’re clearly playing better football without him. It’s embarrassing at this point. He doesn’t understand the game, doesn’t read the play, doesn’t bring anything to the team.”

Although Carragher didn’t mention the player by name, many believe his comments were aimed at midfielder Curtis Jones, whose inconsistent performances this season have frustrated fans and pundits alike. Since being sidelined, Liverpool have looked more fluid and dynamic in midfield, with youngsters like Harvey Elliott and experienced heads like Alexis Mac Allister stepping up.

“He’s become a passenger while others are driving us forward,” Carragher continued. “The difference without him is night and day. We’re more aggressive, more focused, more in control.”

The comments sparked an explosive response across social media, with fans echoing Carragher’s sentiments.

“He needs to leave. We want him no more—it’s no surprise he plays this bad,” one fan posted on X. Another added: “He’s had his chances. It’s time to move on.”

While Liverpool boss Arne Slot has tried to shield his players from harsh criticism, insisting post-match that unity is vital during the title run-in, even he may find it hard to defend the stark contrast in performances when this particular player is missing from the lineup.

With just a few games left in the season and the Premier League title hanging in the balance, Liverpool fans are hoping their team’s resurgence continues—and perhaps, that certain players remain on the bench for good.
