"The pundit, speaking on Sky Sports after Liverpool's surprise 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United today, suggested there might be a few too many small players in this Reds side. With the game now going through a phase of more long balls and set pieces than we've seen for some time, it looks like Arne Slot's side are struggling to cope with that kind of style with the players they have."
"Carragher also suggested that the new full-backs aren't coping too well either, and it's true again that Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez aren't the biggest or most physical defenders. Liverpool losing run stretches to four games Liverpool's defeat to Man Utd now means they're on an awful run of form, having lost four consecutive games in all competitions.

He identified a number of smaller players as poorly suited to defending and attacking set pieces and questioned the physicality of new full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches across competitions, including defeats to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, Chelsea and Manchester United. The run has left the team behind league leaders Arsenal and has exposed defensive vulnerabilities and a rising goals-against tally.
