Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher slammed their defenders after defeat at Wolves.

Wolves cruised to a 3-0 win on Saturday.

Carragher was unimpressed with the way Joel Matip and Joe Gomez handled themselves in the middle of the back four - and hinted it showed why the Reds needed 'leader' Virgil Van Dijk back sooner rather than later.

The result, and particularly the defensive performance of Jurgen Klopp's Reds, was slated by Liverpool legend Carragher, who said the defenders should have stepped up in Van Dijk's absence.

Carragher tweeted: "It's not too difficult to play Centre Back next to the leader of the back four, judge CB's when they have to lead themselves."
