Jamie Carragher believes Arne Slot\u2019s position at Liverpool will soon be \u201cuntenable\u201d and he\u2019s very, very \u201cangry\u201d with the players who have got them in this mess, hitting out at past-it pair Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah and those who have been \u201ccarried\u201d by the Reds legends.<\/p>\n
Liverpool fell to there ninth defeat in 12 games on Wednesday, their worst run since 1954, with the 4-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven at Anfield a new nadir for the Reds in a harrowing stretch after they walked to the Premier League title last term.<\/p>\n
Slot is now under significant pressure despite the credit banked through that title win and although Carragher still believes his former side should \u201cstick with\u201d the Dutchman for the time-being, he accepts he\u2019s on thin ice.<\/p>\n

Never in their history \u2026 I couldn\u2019t believe at the weekend that people were talking about the manager\u2019s job, when I spoke to Liverpool supporters after losing at home to Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always been in the camp that you stick with the manager, I\u2019m angry with the players if I\u2019m being totally honest.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it does get to a stage with any manager at any club where I always use this word \u201cuntenable\u201d, where it feels it can\u2019t go on any longer. I\u2019m not quite there yet personally, in terms of the manager, but I know a lot of supporters will be.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of time to think about it because I knew the game was over long before the final whistle. I think what you\u2019re seeing now is, Liverpool in 2018 under Jurgen Klopp sort of starts this journey \u2026 we\u2019re now, what, seven or eight years later, and the catalyst for that run was Alisson, Van Dijk, and Salah.<\/p>\n \u201cAlisson\u2019s injured a lot now, he doesn\u2019t play so much. But you watch Van Dijk now, not the same player, and Mo Salah looks like his legs have gone. I don\u2019t like criticising them, and I think some of the criticism of them this season as players has been harsh.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Van Dijk pathetic vs PSV as Liverpool captain comically ignores own pre-game message<\/a><\/p>\n
