Former Liverpool teammates Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy have clashed online after the team's Champions League thrashing at Napoli.

Carragher slammed Jurgen Klopp's men for playing "suicide football".

Speaking on CBS after the game, the 44-year-old added they "massively got the transfer ideas in the summer wrong because this team is so far off and it has been at full pelt for five or six years".

But then speaking to talkSPORT on Thursday morning, Murphy - who spent seven seasons with Carragher at Anfield - said of his former team-mate's comments: "I think he is looking for some excuses.

"He is not looking at the obvious which is a simple mindset change and some of the players have become complacent. They are thinking they are a bit better than they are and they need to get back to some basics."

But that caused a furious Carragher to hit back on Twitter, telling Murphy to "keep up with the click bait".

"Not once said Liverpool got it massively wrong in the transfer market & I'm not being wise after the event!" he tweeted.

"Everyone knew LFC needed/wanted a midfielder, Klopp, club, fans. They tried for [Aurelien] Tchouameni & couldn't get [Jude] Bellingham right now. Keep up with the click bait."
