Jamie Carragher staunchly defends Liverpool verdict after Danny Murphy's "excuses" claim

Jamie Carragher has defended his view on Liverpool 's transfer policy after Danny Murphy accused him of "looking for excuses" following their horrendous 4-1 defeat to Napoli.

The ex-Reds teammates, who spent seven years playing alongside each other at Anfield, have found themselves in a war of words on Twitter in the wake of their former club's latest humiliation. Liverpool were 3-0 down before half-time on Wednesday as they got their Champions League campaign off to the worst possible start.

A second goal from Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski made it 4-0 shortly after the break, before Luis Diaz broke through the Napoli defence to score a sublime consolation goal. Jurgen Klopp admitted post-match that the Reds must now "reinvent" themselves after a dismal start to the new season, prompting an intense debate among fans and pundits.
