Broadcasting live from Anfield, Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has made waves in the football world by openly criticizing Liverpool’s board for missing out on signing two England players following their impressive 2-0 victory over Ireland in the Euros. Known for his insightful commentary and deep commitment to the club, Carragher voiced his disappointment with the club’s inactivity in the transfer market, identifying Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon as the “missing piece” Liverpool desperately needs.
Carragher, a Liverpool legend both on and off the field, was candid in his post-match analysis. “Eze and Gordon were phenomenal tonight. Absolutely phenomenal. In my view, they are the standout players in the England squad at the moment. Their speed, creativity, and sharpness on the ball—this is what Liverpool is lacking,” he stated. “Both Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze dominated the game against Ireland. Eze, especially, was orchestrating from midfield, making runs, and creating problems with his dynamic play and vision. He’s exactly the type of attacking midfielder Liverpool has been yearning for.”
The England pair were outstanding, with Eze significantly contributing to England’s offensive play, while Gordon’s pace and dribbling on the wing tore through the Irish defense. Their standout performances garnered attention from many pundits and fans, but Carragher’s critique of Liverpool’s American owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), has drawn the most attention.
“Liverpool needs top-tier signings. We require natural wingers and dynamic attackers, and Eze would be an excellent choice as a number 10. He offers balance and creativity—he could have been a game-changer for us,” Carragher added. His comments resonated with many fans, who have long been frustrated by the club’s conservative spending, especially in comparison to their competitors.
Liverpool’s summer transfer window was relatively quiet, focusing mainly on midfield reinforcements following the exits of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. The absence of attacking additions has become a significant topic of discussion, particularly after witnessing Eze and Gordon’s performances for England.
FSG and the Liverpool board have faced criticism for their cautious transfer approach, and Carragher’s latest remarks are likely to increase pressure on the ownership group. Fans on social media have also joined the debate, with many urging the club to make a late bid for Eze or Gordon before the transfer window closes. One fan tweeted, “Eze would fit perfectly into this Liverpool team. We need someone who can break defenses and take on opponents like he did tonight. FSG needs to step up!”
Carragher’s comments underscore the growing frustration among some Liverpool supporters regarding the club’s transfer strategy. The impressive displays by Eze and Gordon have only amplified demands for FSG to invest in elite talent capable of competing at the highest level.
Whether Liverpool will respond to these calls and pursue the England duo remains to be seen, but it is clear that Carragher and the fans believe these two stars could be transformative for the Reds.
