‘It’s Unprofessional’ – Jamie Carragher Criticizes Liverpool Star for What He Did Against Man United

Liverpool delivered a masterclass at Old Trafford on Sunday, thrashing Manchester United 3-0 in a performance that emphasized their resurgence under new manager Arne Slot.

The victory, which maintained Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the season, has silenced many critics who doubted the team’s ability to bounce back after the departure of Jurgen Klopp. Yet, despite the comprehensive win, one Liverpool player found himself in the crosshairs of club legend Jamie Carragher.

During the match, Dominik Szoboszlai, who has been a standout performer since joining Liverpool, squandered a golden opportunity to score.

The Hungarian midfielder found himself in a prime position to extend Liverpool’s lead but hesitated, allowing Manchester United’s defense to regroup and clear the danger. This moment of indecision didn’t go unnoticed by Carragher, who voiced his frustration during his commentary on Sky Sports.

Carragher Slams Szoboszlai for Missed Opportunity in Man United Win

“What is he doing? Is he trying to be cocky?” Carragher questioned, clearly perplexed by Szoboszlai’s decision-making. “If United get one back, the crowd gets up. We saw yesterday what happened to Everton.”

Carragher’s reference to Everton’s shocking collapse against Bournemouth the previous day was pointed.

Everton had let a 2-0 lead slip, ultimately losing 3-2 in a match that underscored the importance of finishing chances when they arise. The former Liverpool defender saw parallels in Szoboszlai’s hesitation, fearing it could have led to a similar comeback from Manchester United.

“That’s ridiculous from Szoboszlai. That’s just ridiculous, it’s unprofessional,” Carragher added, his tone reflecting his concern over what he deemed an unnecessary risk.

Despite Szoboszlai’s lapse, Liverpool’s dominance was never truly in question. The Reds controlled the game from start to finish, with goals from Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Núñez ensuring a comfortable win.

The victory, which puts Liverpool second in the league, level on points with Manchester City, was a significant statement in Slot’s first major test as Liverpool’s manager.

As for Szoboszlai, the criticism from Carragher serves as a reminder of the high standards expected at Liverpool, where every moment matters, especially in the high-stakes world of Premier League football.
