Jamie Carragher's criticism of Matthijs de Ligt highlights the importance of positional awareness in defensive play, emphasizing the need for strategic decision-making in crucial moments.
Carragher stated, 'I've noticed this a little bit with De Ligt and a lot of centre backs. I don’t understand why they don’t fill the space and they come over.' He pointed out that De Ligt failed to recognize his responsibilities, which forced his teammates into difficult positions.
On De Ligt's overall performance, Carragher remarked, 'In every situation in that first half, two massive chances and the goal... he’s completely out of position all the time.' This lack of positioning led to unnecessary challenges and potential penalties.
Carragher stressed, 'You leave yourself in a situation where you’re going to get yellow cards or red cards.' This exemplifies the risks associated with poor defensive decision-making and positioning.
