Inside Liverpool's blistering start: Reds are City's REAL title rivals thanks againCarragher stated that Dominik Szoboszlai has left him 'wanting more' since his move from RB Leipzig in 2023.
Carragher wrote in The Telegraph: 'Liverpool need to grasp the nettle and make a couple of quality signings in January if they are to win the title.
'When comparing the full-strength Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City starting XIs, the title rivals have more quality in a particular area. Liverpool are short of a Martin Odegaard, Phil Foden or Kevin De Bruyne-style attacking midfielder - that X Factor in the middle of the park who elevates a side to the next level.
'Dominik Szoboszlai has performed well off the ball and he brings energy to the team - doing the ‘dirty work' as he puts it - but for all the possession he gets in good areas, he needs to be more productive in terms of his assists and goals. We are yet to see if that is part of his game.
Carragher wants Liverpool to sign a midfielder and says
Dominik Szoboszlai has left him 'wanting more'
Carragher wants Liverpool to sign a defender to provide cover for Andrew Robertson'For the £60 million he cost, he too often leaves me wanting more. It does not need to all be ‘dirty' work when you have the time and space on the edge of the penalty area to find a team-mate or unleash a shot.'
Furthermore, Carragher claimed that Liverpool need to recruit a new defender,
iconwin who would ideally be able to perform effectively at centre-back or left-back.
Carragher continued: 'Liverpool also need another defender. I have been saying for a few years that the club needs a multi-purpose defender on the left - someone who can cover for Andrew Robertson or play centre-half without weakening the back line. Manchester City have those utility defenders in Nathan Ake and Josko Gvardiol. Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori comes into the same category.'
Liverpool had a quiet summer transfer window, with their only acquisition seeing Federico Chiesa arrive from Juventus.
If Liverpool were to bolster their squad in January then it could boost their chances of winning the title.
