Carragher urges Liverpool to sign defenders after the shameful defeat
Despite scoring two early goals, Liverpool had a nightmare on Tuesday as they eventually lost 5-2 to Real Madrid with a horrendous performance from their defenders. The Liverpool legend insists the Reds need to sign defenders this summer as well as midfielders.
Following Liverpool's 5-2 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, Jamie Carragher told
CBS Sports:
“It’s not acceptable watching this season.
"We keep looking for reasons and excuses, but no, it’s nowhere near good enough. What makes me laugh, I’m not that bothered but Virgil van Dijk said I wouldn’t get in that back four about two months ago – I think I’d take his place at the moment!
"Some of the players there…Joe Gomez tonight, we’ve all had bad nights as players and maybe I shouldn’t kick someone when they’re down because I’m sure he’ll feel terrible. But we keep talking about midfield players Liverpool need – and that’s right – I think Liverpool need defenders as well."
The former England international believes the Reds must renew their line-up for the next season. He added: "
This Liverpool defense now, who we’ve been told for years have got some of the best players in the world, can’t cope. For years they’ve had a front six in front of them who’ve probably worked harder and smarter than any other team in world football. Now that’s gone it’s completely fallen apart."
