Jamie Carragher warns Arne Slot may have lost Anfield crowd
Liverpool were booed off after a 1-1 draw with Tottenham, capped by a 90th-minute equaliser from former Everton forward Richarlison. The reaction at Anfield followed a shock 2-1 defeat to Wolves and leaves the club 21 points behind Arsenal, with the title defence in jeopardy.
Jamie Carragher said the scenes marked a major shift in feeling around the team and highlighted a disconnect between online commentary and those who attend matches. "It's worrying, in terms of what Liverpool do this season. The bigger point is how worrying it is for the manager," he said, noting how match-going fans had previously stuck with Arne Slot.
He warned it would be hard to repair that relationship after such a public display of anger. "The booing at the end, that was proper booing from a disgruntled and unhappy fanbase. I think it's going to be really difficult now for Arne Slot to get them back. Once you lose that crowd, it's really difficult to get them back." On the field, Liverpool sit fifth with 49 points, two behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.
