Jamie Carragher on Spurs: "This Could Be Over Very Quickly" | De Zerbi's Temperament

Jamie Carragher joins us again on An Echo of Glory... and he doesn't hold back.

Four Premier League games, no goals, a 0-0 with Everton at home and £350m spent this summer. So we put it all to Jamie. How long does Roberto De Zerbi get to get his ideas across? Are the "we're not fit, we're not ready" comments genuine or is he buying himself a few more weeks? And why has the energy we saw at the end of last season just... gone?

Jamie's honest about it. He'd have less patience if this was Liverpool spending that money. But he's also clear that we've got no other option, the players we've bought are good players even if we've overpaid, and it will take a few months to bed in.

We also get into:

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium home form. Five wins in thirty. Jamie's words: "it's just madness."
Whether two years of getting knocked about has left the squad without the mental strength to play for a big club
Six new signings in the Everton XI and why that's still a team getting used to each other
The £100m price tag on Tonali and whether it weighs on players
Why Jamie thinks Mateus Fernandes has to start in central midfield, not at number ten
Van Hecke's performance at the weekend and why he should help us at home
The De Zerbi temperament question, including the Tel incident on the pitch, and why Jamie says "this could be over very quickly"
Fighting for Europe rather than the Champions League... would you take that?

Then Liverpool. Jamie reckons the Carabao Cup tie at Anfield is now a bigger game for Liverpool than it was a month ago given their start, and he expects Arne Slot to go stronger than he otherwise would have.

Recorded Monday 14 September 2026, the night before the Carabao Cup third round at Anfield.

Let us know in the comments: is Jamie right that we should settle in for a European race rather than a top four push?
