Lisandro Martinez received mockery from Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher for his performance during Manchester United’s 7-0 loss at Anfield....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Prior to the Reds’ third goal of the evening, scored by Cody Gakpo (50′), Martinez had a shocking performance and was played around by Mohamed Salah.
Carragher had doubts about the defender’s physical attributes when the Argentine joined at United from Ajax in the summer. He asserted that the player might have trouble adjusting to the play in the Premier League.
On Monday Night Football, he had stated (according to Khel Now):
“Now, we should never judge managers or players too early. But I’m convinced this can’t work because the size of him playing in a back four, maybe he could go left-back, maybe he could play in a back three, but in a back four, he cannot play there in the Premier League.
What I would say about him, because of his size, is that is a problem for him. No matter what anyone says, being 5’9″ is a problem.”
While Lisandro Martinez has been very reliable for Manchester United this season, he had a shambolic performance against Liverpool. Carragher tweeted after the match:
“I’ll gladly accept the apologies off Yanited [United] fans about Lisandro Martinez!”
