“Jurgen Klopp is not crazy, Thiago, Fabinho, Henderson, they have a good midfield, but they are all over 30 and this is not ideal for any team. Especially if you want to play intensely like Liverpool.
“They have numbers there, but in terms of quality Liverpool need a midfielder. If he were available, Liverpool would buy him, but clearly they have something lined up they feel. Liverpool definitely need more in midfield.” The midfield is the only prominent part of the team that stands out that cannot compete with Manchester City when you see the quality there. “
