'This is not acceptable': Jamie Carragher slams Liverpool for six-game winless run at Anfield including four league defeats in a row for the first time since 1923... and says that absence of Virgil van Dijk cannot be used as an excuse

Jamie Carragher has slammed Liverpool for their recent home form and said they can't use the long-term absence of Virgil van Dijk as an excuse.

Heading into 2021, the Reds had not lost in the league at Anfield since a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in April 2017.

However, Jurgen Klopp's men have been defeated in their last four top-flight games at their one-time fortress, being outdone first by Burnley, and then Brighton, Manchester City and Everton, with the losing run preceded by draws to Manchester United and West Brom.
