Jamie Carragher identifies the position that Klopp must strengthen in the sumemr

Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool must sign a replacement for Philippe Coutinho this summer or suffer the consequences of being unable to unlock the most stubborn of defences.

Over the last two months, Jurgen Klopp’s side has seemingly lacked that final pass against teams that are able to set up a disciplined defence and draws against Leicester, West Ham, Manchester United and now Everton have proved costly as Manchester City have returned to the top of the table.

For Carragher, he reckons that Liverpool cannot afford to not sign a top class attacking midfielder after Coutinho’s big money departure last year.

When asked whether Liverpool have a problem, Carragher said on Sky Sports: “Yes, in terms of the make-up of the midfield three but it isn’t just a problem now, I think that was even a problem if you go back to the end of last season when Liverpool were doing so well in the Champions League.

“There were certain games, like the final of the Champions League, where you looked at the set-up and thought that they lacked just one player.

“They lost Coutinho last January and they never replaced him. They tried to replace him with someone from Lyon (Nabil Fekir) but they couldn’t get him.

“Even if Liverpool win the league I still think it is a position that Liverpool need to try and fill.”
