Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has criticised the Liverpool players after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Reds had dominated before a clumsy challenge by centre-back Dejan Lovren on Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin resulted in a spot-kick – which was scored by Wayne Rooney was the Toffees took an unlikely share of the points.<\/p>\n
Carragher was disappointed with Liverpool for dropping points in a game they had dominated, in terms of both possession and chances.<\/p>\n
The Sky Sports pundit singled out defender Lovren, who had no need to make the challenge with Calvert-Lewin moving away from goal.<\/p>\n
“[Klopp is a] very frustrated manager, and rightly so. It was a game Liverpool should have won quite comfortably,” Carragher told Sky Sports.<\/a><\/p>\n “Why is [Lovren] running at that pace when Calvert-Lewin is running to the corner flag? It’s a foul, it’s a penalty, I have no doubt about that. It’s a very stupid thing to do. It’s the one real attack Everton had, and that’s what is frustrating.<\/p>\n “Liverpool’s defenders weren’t asked to do much today, and the one time they were asked, they made a stupid mistake, so they’ve only got themselves to blame.”<\/p>\n Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was furious with the decision and was involved in a fiery exchange with Sky Sports reporter Patrick Davison during his post-match interview.<\/p>\n Though Carragher disagreed with Klopp’s view that the referee’s decision to award the penalty was incorrect, he sympathised with the Liverpool boss and admitted he could understand his frustration.<\/p>\n Liverpool took the lead on 42 minutes through a spectacular effort from Mohamed Salah, before Sadio Mane missed a great chance to make it 2-0 just before half-time.<\/p>\n The hosts continued to create opportunities were made to pay for not taking their chances as Everton, who had barley threatened, were awarded a spot-kick, which Rooney smashed straight down the middle.<\/p>\n In other Liverpool news, Reds legend John Arne Riise has criticised Klopp for this decision he made against Everton.<\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019ve launched a\u00a0<\/em><<\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/a>BREAKING NEWS FEED<\/em><\/strong><\/a>>><\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>exclusively for your club. \u2018Like Us\u2019 on Facebook by\u00a0<\/em>clicking here<\/em><\/a>\u00a0if you want 24\/7 updates on all Liverpool breaking news.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has criticised the Liverpool players after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
