Jamie Carragher praises ‘brilliant’ Chelsea ace after Liverpool defeat

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has backed Jurgen Klopp’s men to revive their fortunes with a win over Bournemouth on Saturday – just as they did last season.

The Reds ended a run of two games without a win last season by thrashing the Cherries 3-0 at Anfield in February 2019.

Liverpool have lost three of their last four games in all competitions including last night’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

After the game, the ex-central defender had praise for Chelsea maestro Billy Gilmour and also said the Liverpool performance was much better than the Watford showing on Saturday.

The result last night was disappointing for Liverpool. Going out of the FA Cup ends their hopes of a treble and the decision to play a weakened team backfired.

The Reds will surely win the Premier League title this season but getting back on track is a must.

Liverpool won’t want a stunning season to be ruined by limping over the line towards glory and beating Atletico in the Champions League would also be a bonus.

Carragher won several trophies during this long association with Liverpool.

He knows what he takes to be a winner, although he would probably swap every trophy he won to have lifted a Premier League title.

Klopp’s team have been a joy to watch over the last 18 months or so and a few defeats won’t completely derail their campaign.

Bournemouth are fighting for their lives towards the relegation zone and the Reds will hope to get back on track in emphatic fashion this weekend.
