Carragher Warns Liverpool to Buy a Defender in January or Risk Missing Champions League

The reigning champions have slipped to eighth after a bruising run that exposed a lack of physicality under Arne Slot.

Overview

  • Liverpool are eighth in the Premier League after five defeats in 11 matchweeks and seven losses in their last ten games across all competitions.
  • A 3-0 loss to Manchester City before the international break underscored recurring defensive vulnerabilities.
  • The team has kept three clean sheets in 11 league matches, conceding 17 goals and scoring 18, according to talkSPORT.
  • Carragher argues the squad lacks pace, power and physicality for Slot’s possession-oriented approach and urges a January defensive signing.
  • Reports note a failed deadline‑day move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi after a completed medical, with suggestions Liverpool could revisit that pursuit in January.
