Liverpool were far from their rapid-gliding ideal at Kenilworth Road via the run out result viewing them lose progression on leaders Manchester Metropolis via Jurgen Klopp’s side presently three times behind the defending winners.
Not the greatest of suspensions yet previous Liverpool protector Carragher reckons they still criterion “an additional midfield gamer and a top program protector” in yesteryear they can satisfactorily crisis for the title.

They went via Gomez today at abandoned-ago instead of Tsimikas, they presumed he’d be stronger defensively.
“I still assume Liverpool can carry out via an additional gamer in that position, probably on the other side at correct-ago and probably unleash Trent at many times probably into midfield, against ensured opposition you tinker a individual there who’s probably stronger and tougher defensively.
