Jamie Carragher details Liverpool 'worry' after 'big surprise' in Watford defeat

Jamie Carragher has questioned whether winning the Premier League is enough for Liverpool this season.

The Reds saw their hopes of an unbeaten season go emphatically up in smoke on Saturday as they were hammered 3-0 by Watford at Vicarage Road.

Jurgen Klopp's men will still likely romp to the title, holding a 22-point advantage over nearest challengers Manchester City .

But Carragher thinks there will be a tinge of disappointment if the Premier League is the club's only trophy this term, ahead of FA Cup and Champions League clashes against Chelsea and Atletico Madrid respectively.

The Liverpool legend told Sky Sports: "I think there's a bit of a worry - not for the league, the league's won - it's actually is the league enough for Liverpool this season?

"The league feels like it's been won for two or three months.

"I know Jurgen Klopp wouldn't say that but it almost feels when you've had a season like that it doesn't feel enough, you still want one of the cups, whether that be the FA Cup or the Champions League.

"The worry is now Chelsea midweek and the following midweek is Atletico Madrid.

"If Liverpool go out of both cup competitions there's no way it will be a damp squib, because they've waited so long to win the title, but there will be a little tinge of how good this team is, the results they've had, they probably should win more this season."

Carragher also admitted his surprise at Liverpool's lack of potency in front of goal against Watford.

"It wasn't losing, it was the manner of the defeat. It was really poor. And for the team at the top of the league to lose to the second bottom doesn't normally occur too often," he added.

"People keep talking about Liverpool defensively and they were really poor but they never looked like scoring a goal in the game. And that was so surprising. So there's problems at both ends."
