Carragher believes Salah needs more help on the front line

After Liverpool failed to defend their title in the English League Cup earlier this season, Sloter's team can only continue to fight for the Premier League title this season. Liverpool legend Carragher said that Sloter's team cannot rely too much on Salah and believes that the striker needs more help and support from his teammates on the field.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Liverpool lost to Paris Saint-Germain 1-4 on penalties, and thus missed out on the chance to win the Champions League. In the English League Cup final, Liverpool lost to Newcastle 1-2 at Wembley Stadium after Chiesa scored a goal when they were two goals behind, and thus missed out on the championship. This also means that Liverpool can only compete for the Premier League title this season, but this challenge will also be very difficult.

In addition, the 32-year-old Egyptian striker Salah has contributed 27 goals and 17 assists to Liverpool in the Premier League so far this season. His performance is outstanding and he is also a very important presence for Liverpool.

Speaking about Slaughter's side's performance in the League Cup, Liverpool legend Carragher said: "This is perhaps the worst performance I have ever seen Liverpool perform in a cup final, but they have paid too much this season and they have only lost one game in the Premier League. "It is difficult to make harsh criticisms, but it does expose the areas where Liverpool still need to improve. I think the lack of speed in the front line is particularly obvious. I even feel sorry for Salah. "

"He got a lot of criticism in Liverpool's last two games against PSG. He played really well against probably the best left-back in the world in Nuno Mendes. Salah didn't contribute much in the game and didn't do well against Newcastle. But the problem is that he didn't get help from the other strikers."

Carragher continued, “This is not like the period when Klopp was coaching, when Mane or Firmino could help them out of trouble. The other attackers Liverpool have are good players, but they are not great players yet. They are too dependent on Salah, so I don’t want to see too much criticism about Salah.”

"This game made it clearer to us that Liverpool need to bring in two strikers, not as rotation players, but possibly directly alongside Salah next season."

In addition, Liverpool will play a Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield in the next round of the Premier League. In the first round of the match, Liverpool relied on McAllister and Salah to score and finally drew 2-2 with Everton at Goodison Park.

It is worth mentioning that Liverpool coach Slaughter and midfielder Jones were shown red cards in that game, so the "Red Army" will definitely seek victory in this derby to regain confidence.
