Hansi Flick\u2019s mention of the importance of \u2018team spirit\u2019 at Barcelona pinpointed exactly where Liverpool are going wrong this season.<\/p>\n

The former Bayern boss spoke of the importance of winning the right way as his Barca side lead the La Liga table by four points.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Arne Slot\u2019s Reds find themselves toiling in fifth, committing to what many perceive to be an unattractive brand of football in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot must heed Hansi Flick and Jamie Carragher\u2019s warnings<\/p>\n

Whilst Flick was far from making a pointed claim about Liverpool, it serves to show that the Merseysiders have lost much of the team spirit that served them well under Jurgen Klopp. Not to mention during Slot\u2019s first season in charge of the eventual Premier League winners.<\/p>\n

It conveniently mirrors comments issued by former Red Jamie Carragher in his analysis of Liverpool\u2019s dire display in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiverpool are not a team, they are a team of individuals,\u201d\u00a0the 48-year-old told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf quality players? Yes. Just dropped in, no cohesion. You can see that on the clip, and that\u2019s what they\u2019ve lost. And that is the most important thing for Liverpool Football Club. <\/p>\n

\u201cI never think of Liverpool as this fan Zidane team with all superstar players. It\u2019s always about top players, but being a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Liverpool need to bring cohesion and joy back to the table<\/p>\n

Liverpool feel incredibly passive compared to the prior campaign. If they hold the lead going into the second-half, there\u2019s a near overwhelming sense that they\u2019re destined to throw it away in the second 45.<\/p>\n

The simple fact is that we\u2019re not doing enough in either half \u2013 be it to kill off the game in the first 45 or see things out in the second.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport found that we could have picked up 60 points at this stage of the season had we not conceded after the 90-minute mark<\/a> against eight opponents in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Forget the title defence \u2013 that\u2019s an inexcusable stat for any side that considers itself a serious contender for Champions League football each season.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re not going to change things until the style of football becomes more positive and everyone starts working as a collective.<\/p>\n

Failing that, Arne Slot will just find himself sleepwalking to an eventual, and deserved, sacking<\/a> at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
