Jamie Carragher urges Liverpool to land attacking midfielder during January window

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher thinks Liverpool need to land a Coutinho replacement in January.
The pundit and one-time Liverpool centre-back was speaking as a result of the 0-0 draw with Manchester City at Anfield.

In Reds’ past four matches in all competitions, the club lacked central creativity, especially when James Milner, Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson have been deployed as a trio.

Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri both have the ability with the ball and vision, but Xherdan is probably suited to the front-three while the Naby is still finding his feet.

“If Liverpool are in a really good position in January, I think they’ve got to be looking to address that [midfield area],” Carragher told sports television channel Sky Sports post-match.

“Even if Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain comes back, [Naby] Keita goes in or Fabinho goes in they are all the same. Liverpool don’t play with a No 10, but there’s no David Silva or Bernardo Silva or a player like that in the squad.

“I’m not talking about that player playing every week. It’s just the fact of having someone like that in the squad to turn to when you feel you need that player.”
