Klopp squad not good enough - Carragher


Jamie Carragher has praised the impact made by new
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, but says his
current squad is not good enough.

Klopp has overseen impressive victories away at
Manchester City and Chelsea in the Premier League, as well
as a thumping 6-1 win at Southampton in the League Cup
quarter-finals.

However, his side have also suffered several disappointing
results, including Saturday's defeat at West Ham, and
Carragher believes it is vital he strengthens his squad.

"He's done very well," Carragher said.

"He's had some disappointing results, but that's to be
expected because the reason you change your manager is
because the squad before or the results aren't going too
well.

"It's not his squad and it's not the best squad and obviously
that's why the manager was changed but he's had some
outstanding results too."

Carragher said Liverpool's 1-0 League Cup semi-final first
leg win over Stoke City was an important result for the
German, who is now in a good position to reach a cup final
in his first season at Anfield.

"Getting the result [against Stoke] was a great one because
it puts Liverpool in a good position to get into a cup final,"
the former defender said.

"If he can win a trophy in his first season it would be a great
start because that's something that got thrown at Brendan
Rodgers, he hadn't won any silverware in three years.

"He obviously came close to the Premier League title, but if
Jurgen can get that monkey off his back early it will have
been a great start."
