Jamie Carragher has labelled Liverpool's current high-line as 'suicide football' following their Champions League horror show at Napoli.
The Reds' high-line - proven to be so successful throughout Jurgen Klopp's time in charge - was brutally exposed in the 4-1 defeat in Italy, with the likes of Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia consistently able to beat the offside trap and get in behind. Those well-timed runs were the cause of three Napoli goals on the night - as well as a penalty that Osimhen eventually missed - which led to claims that the defenders lack the desire to track back.
But rather than criticise character, former Reds captain Carragher highlighted that holding a high-line when the midfield cannot press the ball is 'suicide football', adding that they must adapt quickly or face falling too far behind both domestically and in Europe.
