Liverpool are out of the title race, out of the EFL Cup and have just the Champions League and FA Cup to compete for this season as they chase down more silverware under Slot after their title win last year.
Having dropped to sixth in the table, fans have become frustrated with Slot who did not help himself this month when he stated that “the biggest thing you can win is that you can play the nicest football to watch” as he brushed aside the thought of trophies.
Carragher defends Slot
Now, Carragher has jumped to his defence and justified Slot’s comments as he explained that the Dutchman simply wants to be remembered.
"As a manager, his style of football is play, he wants to be remembered. That's what football he will play his whole career no matter who he's managing. When he leaves Liverpool, yes, trophies are more important.
“We all know that and I think Arne Slot knows that. But I think the point he's trying to make is he wants to be remembered as a coach who plays a certain sort of style of football, always looking to play what he would deem as the right way. What is the right way? That's always up for debate."
"I think what he's trying to say is throughout the whole time of his managerial career, he wants people when they look back at Arne Slot's football, it would be trophies, and also the way his teams liked to play.”
Rivals Manchester City head to Anfield this weekend in what should be an entertaining clash where Slot will hope to get Liverpool back to their best after a good run of form.
