Thiago Alcantara has struggled for form at Liverpool.
Since his arrival from Bayern Munich in the summer window, Thiago has failed to register a goal or an assist for the Reds.
Carragher believes his poor form can be due to the constant changing of positions playing 12 games in central midfield and seven outings in a deeper role.
Covid-19 and a knee injury has also halted his progress and he is yet to hit his stride in the Premier League this campaign.
‘I actually feel sorry for him a little bit because he’s played two or three different roles within midfield,’ Carragher said on The Robbie Fowler Podcast.
‘He’s played the deepest position, now he’s playing a little bit higher.
‘I think he was very good against Leipzig and you think of that knock-on effect of having Fabinho next to him and what that will do to his game.
‘Fabinho’s as good as anyone in Europe in that holding midfield role and I think we saw a glimpse of what Thiago can do going forward.’
‘I don’t think we’re going to see a different Thiago next season when everyone’s fit and firing because I actually thing he’s had some good games,’ Carragher added.
‘He’s great with the ball but he’s not great without the ball and I don’t think that’s going to change, he gives silly fouls away, he’s not great when the game gets stretched.
‘The problem he’s had is Liverpool’s games have become stretched this season because they’ve been losing.’
