🔴Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes Andoni Iraola’s squad needs a defensive midfielder before Tuesday’s 11pm transfer deadline:
🗣️”There's one area that hasn't really had much focus, only really in the last week since the Newcastle game. I believe they need a specialist in the No. 6 position, that's my opinion.
“Now, the manager might have different ideas in terms of how he wants the team to look and his philosophy, but I think this team has missed a destroyer, someone who holds the middle of the pitch, who is a massive part of the spine since the team moved Fabinho on.
“I think that position's been sorely missed, I don't think they've got a specialist in that position. That can allow your [Dominik] Szoboszlais and your [Ryan] Gravenberchs and your [Alexis] Mac Allisters to go and join attacks, to make the back four secure. I think they miss that position badly.” See less
