Midfield not strengthened
What happened. Jamie Carragher said Liverpool's midfield is still a 'huge problem' and they won't compete for the Premier League title unless they sign a number six.
- Carragher saw space in midfield in pre-season games vs Leeds and Monaco.
- He worries Szoboszlai playing deeper leaves gaps.
- He says there's 'too much quality' but they all want to run.
“The midfield for me is still a huge problem for Liverpool.”
— Jamie Carragher
Liverpool have not added a midfielder this summer, leaving Iraola with the same options as last season.
