Via echo:
Carragher joked he would have 'sold' Diogo Jota for '£25million' in the first half an hour against Leeds
Eyebrows were raised when Jurgen Klopp decided to stick with the Portugal forward in his starting XI despite him not finding the net for 32 games
Jota lost possession a staggering 15 times in the opening half an hour of the match, that prompted Carragher to joke about selling Liverpool's number 20.
Carragher:
"After half an hour I’d sold Jota, I’d got £25million for him, and I was looking around at spending," Carragher said.
"I’d maybe get 30 now on the back of this. Listen, he had a really poor first half an hour, and if it had continued at nil nil until half-time I think Nunez would have come on for him.
"We just see him at that far post, and I must be honest, he’s come back in after being out for a while with injury, and I’m not quite sure why Nunez isn’t playing."
Carragher then continued: "Listen, he’s got goals in the past for Liverpool, he’s gone a long time without scoring but it’s just really interesting, for me, the fact that Jurgen Klopp is playing him ahead of Nunez, I can’t quite work that one out.
"The fact that Nunez is new, you want to get him more integrated playing games, I’m not sure, but as I say he’s got two goals and provided an assist, but he had a very tough first half an hour, shall we say."
