Slot questions penalty consistency after Liverpool loss at Galatasaray
  • Jamie Carragher criticised Liverpool's recent performance, labelling them a "mess" after consecutive defeats to Galatasaray and Crystal Palace.
  • Carragher stated that Liverpool have lost their team balance, playing "basketball" rather than "football" and lacking defensive solidity.
  • He urged head coach Arne Slot to "earn his money" by fixing the team's problems, which Carragher believes have been evident since the start of the season.
