Liverpool supporters may still be reeling from the crushing defeat and performance at the hands of Real Madrid, something that Paul Merson was quick to criticise the midfield about once again.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Arsenal man said: “They can’t do it at the moment. They haven’t got the legs in midfield. They’re legless. How old is [Luka] Modric, 37? He went though it like a knife through butter. It shouldn’t happen.”
It’s not something we want to be hearing and will add further fuel to the fire that we need to be strengthening the midfield this summer, something many expect us now to do.
However, and before this happens, Jurgen Klopp needs to find a short-term way to make the team click before the end of the campaign and try to finish the season as strongly as possible.
