Carragher claims Klopp is guilty of huge transfer mistake that Liverpool's owners FSG can't be blamed for

Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher claimed Jurgen Klopp made a major mistake in last summer’s transfer window.

While Klopp has been tipped to spend big in the summer on the likes of Jude Bellingham and Moises Caicedo, the Liverpool boss was criticised for not being more proactive before the current campaign.

Klopp draws criticism from Carragher

The former centre-back wrote: "Liverpool wanted to sign one in Aurélien Tchouaméni from Monaco, knowing his market value was £75 million.

“That was Klopp’s call, not owner John W. Henry’s."

Carragher stressed, however, that he remained a supporter of Klopp, despite Liverpool’s dire form this term.

The 45-year-said: "We often talk about managers having ‘credit in the bank’. Jürgen Klopp is the reason Liverpool are now valued in the billions.

"The club’s transformation under Fenway Sports Group accelerated because of him.

"That is why in the aftermath of another shambolic defeat last weekend, my support is unwavering. I would change everyone else at Liverpool before Klopp, but we cannot ignore that the Anfield renaissance was assisted by the collective expertise of many departments, the coaching and recruitment staff especially working in harmony."

Carragher added: "Players can come and go. So too can sporting directors and board members. Liverpool still have their brilliant manager. Now is the time to revisit the blueprint he so brilliantly began to enforce in 2015."
