“Is he trying to be cocky?” — Carragher blasts Liverpool player
Even though Liverpool won, former Reds icon, Jamie Carragher had his tongue in his throat after a Dominik Szoboszlai moment nearly cost Liverpool their 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
The former defender did not hold back in his criticism of Dominik Szoboszlai during the Reds’ commanding 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Jamie Carragher fuming after the Hungarian midfielder squandered a golden opportunity to seal the win with a fourth goal late in the game.
As Liverpool dominated the match, Szoboszlai found himself in a prime position to add to the scoreline. However, instead of taking a decisive shot, the 23-year-old opted to take extra touches in the box, wasting the chance. Carragher, who was on Sky Sports commentary, was quick to call out the young midfielder’s decision-making.

“What is he doing? Is he trying to be cocky?” Carragher questioned, visibly frustrated.
He warned that such casual play could have turned the tide if United had managed to score a late goal. “If United get one back, the crowd gets up, we saw yesterday what happened to Everton. That’s ridiculous from Szoboszlai. That’s just ridiculous, it’s unprofessional.”
Carragher’s sharp critique highlights how even in a convincing win, moments of complacency can put a team at risk. While Liverpool walked away with the victory, Carragher’s comments serve as a reminder to Szoboszlai and the rest of the squad that there’s no room for overconfidence, especially in high-stakes matches like these.
