Jamie Carragher slams 23-year-old Leeds player for what he did vs Liverpool last night

Jamie Carr🀅agher slammed L🐈eeds United’s Pascal Struijk for an ‘embarrassing’ bit of defending against Liverpool last night.

Carragher was speaking on ’ cove꧙rage of the clash at Elland Road last night as Javi Gracia’s men fell to a 6-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Leeds have now shi🌠pped 11 goals in their last two home games after they had seemingly turned a corner under Gracia.

The Whites had it all to do after going 2-0 down right before half-time, but Luis Sinist💫erra gave them a glimmer of hope at the beginning of the 𒊎second-half.

Yet, Leeds went on to concede just five minutes later🧸 and Carragher tore into both Struijk and Junior Firpo for their roles in the goa𝐆l.

Carragher slams Struijk

Struijk put in a half-hearted challenge on the halfway li🐼ne which led to Cody Gakpo easily knocking the ball around him to𝕴 Curtis Jones.

The Liverpool mi🦄dfielder then skipped past Firpo and set-up Jota for Liver🤪pool’s third goal of the evening.

After the game, Carragher labelled Struijk’s challenge as ‘embarrass🅰ing’ on Monday Nꦦight Football.

“I can’t get away ♛from Leeds,ꩵ” he said. “Obviously Jurgen mentioned that a lot of Liverpool’s goals came from the fact that they made Leeds make mistakes.

“But that challenge [Struijk’s] is e𒉰mbarrassing, it really is. And then another one from Firpo, who was all over the ☂place all night.”

Struijk has struggled since🐟 he moved back into central defence after Maximilian Wober’s injury.

The 23-year-old looked solid at left🐟-back, while Wober had provided some much-needed composure i💖n the Leeds backline.

Gracia wi♓ll be hoping to have the Austrian defender back as soon as possible, which will allow him to move Struijk back out to left-back and shore up his defence.ไ

Leeds had picked up some promising🗹 results under the Spaniard, but they n꧟ow sit just two points above the relegation zone.
