Reds legend and now pundit Jamie Carragher has told Liverpool to sign a midfielder in the mold of Declan Rice, as they need to add a player of his type to that midfield in order to get back playing at their very best.
Last season under Arne Slot LIVERPOOL looked like a side that was going to dominate the Premier League for the next couple of seasons, they had the best defence and best attack in the Premier League, but that has not been the same this campaign.
Arne Slot spent some serious money in the summer transfer window improving that attack, adding players to the squad so the side was more his rather than former bosses Jurgen Klopp, but they have not scored the goals he would like and they have looked shakey at the back too.
There has been alot of players linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks, but if you believe the words of Carragher, Liverpool need to sign a midfielder in the mold of ARSENAL star Declan Rice
WHAT HAS CARRAGHER TOLD LIVERPOOL?
“Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister are really good players, but it ends up with two or three players who do not have great physicality in there,” Carragher told The Athletic.
“The one who stands out every time I watch him play is Declan Rice. What a player, honest to god. That’s exactly what LIVERPOOL need. For me, he is the modern-day Roy Keane.
“I don’t think he’s a Stevie Gerrard, because Stevie was more attacking. Roy did a bit of everything; press high, get the ball off the back four, everything. Declan has the set pieces, too. I actually don’t think we still give him enough praise.
‘It always feels like there’s a but with him. His passing is fantastic. No one can run past him. His set-piece delivery is as good as anything in European football.”
WHAT WILL ARNE SLOT IMPROVE IN THE TRANSFER WINDOWS?
That defence has become a real issue for the Dutch boss, his players have not been performing at the level he would like and adding another defender or two to that back-line really needs to happen.
This January window will probably not see any big players arrive, but if Slot can get someone that can help Virgil Van Dijk, maybe someone like Micky Van De Ven, he could sort out his defensive issues.
That midfield is pretty welly stocked and Slot doesnt really need to add to that does he?
