'That’s still a problem' - Jamie Carragher outlines Liverpool concern from Leipzig win

Jamie Carragher says he is still concerned about Liverpool's ability to create chances despite a 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig.

The Reds got back to winning ways in impressive style as they scored two away goals in a 2-0 win over Bundesliga high fliers Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Yet both goals came from defensive errors, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane showing their clinical side to put the German side to the sword.

Speaking post-match on CBS, Carragher hailed Liverpool's overall performance in the victory.

Yet he argued that the lack of chances they created themselves showed that there are still things to work on for Jurgen Klopp's side.

He said: "I saw a Liverpool performance that I have seen in the last few weeks. Liverpool’s energy, the pressing has been there for a few weeks and it was there from the start.

"I am not trying to take anything away from that result. That’s a magnificent result. That team is just behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and they did really well in the Champions League last season.

"But they haven’t created an awful lot. Then one mistake, the ball has gone into the opposition net, and they got away with it because of the goalkeeper at 0-0.

"For how well Liverpool played tonight, they still didn’t create an awful lot tonight themselves. For me, going forward that’s still a problem.

"But the actual goals scored were on the back of mistakes and they were clinical. They still didn’t create an awful lot in the game. Again, I am not being critical."
