Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed Reds players after last night's Champions League defeat at Napoli.
The Reds were thumped 4-1 in Naples.
"The problem tonight is not that game. Forget this game," he said on CBS after the match.
"For me the big worry is that, is this almost something that's going to carry on through the season? Is this an end of a cycle?
"Liverpool massively got the transfer ideas in the summer wrong because this team is so far off and it has been at full pelt for five or six years.
"Is this a massive drop off physically because of what's happened over the last five or six years the way they've played, how intensive they've been. And can this team get it back?"
On the Reds' defending, Carragher continued: "It's embarrassing. It really is.
"I said before it's kid stuff and this is the big problem with Liverpool right now. They've built their success on intensity on the ball, which means the opposition can't get the head up to put the ball over.
"So your team's always tight. Always really compact .At times [there's a] risk, but you get an energy on the ball, that energy is not there now, so that back four has to adapt and it has to go back three or four yards.
"That's all we're talking about. But if they keep playing [like that] they're gonna have a big problem in terms of the Premier League this season and qualifying for the next round of the Champions League, because that is suicide football."
