Jamie Carragher doubles down on Liverpool criticism despite "fantastic" Jurgen Klopp job

Jamie Carragher has stood by his claims that Liverpool haven't won enough silverware under Jurgen Klopp.

The Merseysiders took on Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday in this season's Carabao Cup final - one of four fronts the Reds are fighting on.

Klopp's side have been in relentless form of late and have found themselves hailed as one of the world's greatest teams in recent seasons.

The German guided Liverpool to their sixth European Cup back in 2019 before helping end the club's 30-year wait for a top-flight title with Premier League success 12 months later.

However, Carragher has reiterated his belief that his former side haven't won enough silverware given how "fantastic" they have been in recent seasons.

Ahead of the showpiece final, the Sky Sports pundit admitted: "What this Liverpool team have done and what Klopp’s done, we all think they’re amazing, fantastic - they haven’t actually won enough for how good they are."

While Carragher was quick to praise Liverpool's achievement of winning the Champions League and Premier League, especially given the competition posed by Manchester City, he challenged his former to add more domestic cups to their trophy haul.

"They’re up against an unbelievable team in Pep Guardiola in terms of every competition," he added.

"It’s very difficult to win the Premier League, very difficult to win the Champions League, so to pick up domestic cups, and that’s what Chelsea do as a club which is unbelievable.

"They are fantastic in cup competitions and that’s what this Liverpool team need to do - they need to win more domestic cup competitions."

Sunday isn't the first time Carragher has criticised his former club over their supposed lack of success.

Only last month, the former Red questioned Klopp's output as Liverpool manager despite the German overseeing one of the most successful chapters in the club's recent history.

He previously stated: "When I look at Jurgen Klopp’s team now and how good they’ve been, how much we’ve loved them, the football they’ve played I don’t actually think they’ve won enough.

"One league and a European cup is fantastic, of course it is, but you think of what Man City have done and certainly Chelsea in terms of picking up cups - you can’t win the league or the European cup every year.

"It’s very difficult so to pick up an FA Cup or Carabao Cup I think does make a big difference."

The Reds welcome Premier League strugglers Norwich City to Anfield on Wednesday in the 5th Round of the FA Cup.

Victory over the Canaries in midweek would see Klopp's side progress to the competition's final eight and provide the Liverpool manager with a glorious opportunity to dispel Carragher's claims and add an FA Cup to his silverware collection.
