Jamie Carragher has warned Arne Slot that his position at Liverpool could be in jeopardy if they fail to secure Champions League football, but cautioned that sacking the Dutchman would not instantly solve the club's problems.
Slot's future came under scrutiny after Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. Mario Lemina's early header gave the Turkish side the advantage, meaning Liverpool must overturn the deficit at Anfield next week.
Carragher, speaking on CBS Sports, said the performance was a 'big worry' and that Liverpool are 'a million miles off' where they were supposed to be after spending over £400million in the summer. He predicted elimination in the next round even if they beat Galatasaray.
Liverpool sit sixth in the Premier League after a defeat to Wolves, and their title defence has collapsed. Carragher believes the squad's makeup is a problem but noted that managers often 'carry the can'.
