What happened. Gary Neville accused Liverpool of leaving Andoni Iraola with an uncompetitive squad due to 'bizarre' transfer dealings, including failing to sign full-backs and a holding midfielder.

• Neville says Gakpo is Liverpool's best forward and they can't afford to lose him.
• He criticizes Frimpong's defending, calling TAA a better defender.
• Neville suggests the squad looks suited for a back three, not a back four.

“It's bizarre. The noise that Gakpo might leave - I know that Barcola might come in - but he looks like their best forward.”
