Leicester City recorded their first league win of the calendar year just days after sacking Claudio Ranieri. Prompting former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher to condemn the players for not doing enough for Ranieri. The Leicester City players were rampaging against Liverpool like Ranieri had been seizing their balls prior to his sack. Carragher was also critical of his former side for performing badly.
“Leicester were absolutely superb tonight,” the former Red said. “They won the game with energy, closing people down, being horrible and difficult to play against.
“But that’s not tactics, that’s not having great players. That’s having something inside you. It is right that they are asked questions because it wasn’t as though we were suddenly seeing 11 fantastic footballers, we were just seeing a team fully committed.
“I’ve been watching football for a very long time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where two teams should come off the pitch and hang their heads in shame: Liverpool for how bad they were and Leicester for how good they were on the back of how poor they’ve been, just through effort and commitment.
“We saw Jamie Vardy going down on the floor exhausted, but more through relief they’d got that win because they’ve been battered.
“I’ve been a big part of that and that still doesn’t change it for me. In some ways it may even reinforce that they haven’t done enough for Claudio Ranieri.”
With the win, Leicester City climbed up to 15th with 24 points from 26 matches.
