Jamie Carragher has admitted Liverpool's Premier League title hopes are over following their 'unacceptable display' in the Merseyside derby defeat against Everton.
Jurgen Klopp's side were beaten 2-0 at Goodison Park on Wednesday night with Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin on target for the hosts.
Carragher admitted his former side's title hopes have been ended by their rivals, with Liverpool three points behind Arsenal with four matches remaining this season.
'This is the end of the title run for Liverpool,' Carragher told Sky Sports.
'It almost feels like the end and they've just got to make sure they finish the season really strongly.
'They had enough chances at the beginning of the game but they're not clinical enough in both boxes.
'I don't think it's the time to get too angry with the team or Jurgen Klopp it's been a great ride, a great journey, but tonight is Everton's night.
The former Liverpool captain claimed Liverpool's performance at Goodison Park was 'unacceptable' in the final weeks of the title race.
The Reds have stumbled in recent weeks with a damaging 2-2 draw at Man United and 1-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace having dented their title hopes.
Liverpool also crashed out of the Europa League to Atalanta with Klopp's final weeks in charge threatening to peter out.
Carragher highlighted Mo Salah's struggles in recent weeks as a factor, with the Liverpool talisman failing to make an impact against Everton.
'Mo Salah has looked a shadow of himself, especially after his injury,' Carragher said.
'He is Liverpool's legend, superstar, one of the all-time greats but he's been so far off it.
