Liverpool FC faces criticism after Premier League opener

Liverpool FC faced criticism following a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United in their Premier League season opener. Pundit Jamie Carragher expressed frustration over the team's midfield vulnerabilities, noting that the club continues to struggle with being played through in the center of the pitch.

Despite significant summer investment totaling approximately £445 million—including signings such as Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike—the squad's tactical structure under manager Andoni Iraola has yet to yield results. Carragher warned that if the team does not improve within the next few months, the recent transfer activity could be viewed as ‘possibly the worst transfer window we have ever seen in Premier League history’ due to the lack of on-field impact relative to the expenditure.
