‘Making noise’ – Simon Jordan accuses Jamie Carragher of overreacting with brutal Liverpool takedown

Simon Jordan took issue with Jamie Carragher and his concerned take on Liverpool after their Champions League defeat at Galatasaray.

The Reds were beaten 1-0 in Istanbul on Tuesday night having lost 2-1 away to Crystal Palace in the Premier League three days prior.

Liverpool have surprisingly gone two games without victory

Although it’s not an extensive winless run, Liverpool have not been at the races so far this season despite being top of the Premier League.

Club legend Carragher voiced his worries with their performances on CBS Sports, saying: “The last two games are not concerning, I think Liverpool’s full nine games this season have been very concerning.

“I was worried about Liverpool very early on, and I expressed that to the manager [Arne Slot] on the side of the pitch against Bournemouth in the first league game, where Liverpool end up winning 4-2.

“I don’t feel like I’m watching a top team. Liverpool aren’t playing football at the moment, they’re playing basketball, it’s just end to end, and I don’t think top teams play like that.”

However, Jordan hinted at an overreaction from Carragher whilst he assessed whether or not Liverpool are currently in more than a blip.

On White and Jordan for talkSPORT, he said: “I like Jamie, and I think a lot of the time what Jamie says is worth listening to.

“In this instance, he’s making noise on a television show to create some sort of reaction in it. You’re top of the Premier League.

“You may not be playing particularly well but I think the key component of any side is if you can win the majority of the games that you’re playing, whilst not playing very well, there ain’t too much wrong with you.

“And if you’ve got the assembled part… I mean, I’m quite glad that [Alexander] Isak hasn’t hit the ground running because I’d like to see him struggle a little bit.

“Mean-spirited of me, I know, but notwithstanding it, I look at it and think to myself, ‘Well, what is there to worry about, really?'”

Carragher does not believe Liverpool are a top team with their current form

But Jordan has dismissed his honest evaluation as just noise

Big money, less quality?

Jim White also asked Jordan if Liverpool look worse despite spending £446million during the summer transfer window.

The £125m British record signing Isak has scored only one goal in five appearances, and Florian Wirtz is yet to score or assist for the club.

But again, Jordan insisted that Liverpool are just going through a bad patch and had similar form last season before winning the title.

“Ooo, they’ve lost a couple of games,” he sarcastically said. “They’re top of the Premier League.
