"I'm told the manager still isn't happy with his squad. There are a few positions he still feels they could strengthen in, despite all the money they spent in the summer, because they haven't been good enough recently. He wants to add another centre-half to his squad, that's no surprise to anybody. When you look through this Liverpool squad, there are still three or four positions where you feel they could strengthen, and it seems the manager feels the same."
"When you look through this Liverpool squad, there are still three or four positions where you feel they could strengthen, and it seems the manager feels the same. A centre-back is one, then are their full-backs good enough, then a midfielder, Salah hasn't been performing so maybe a forward, there are a lot of problems there. It was a massive window for them in the summer, and it could be another in January because there are a few question marks still around this squad."
Liverpool spent heavily in the summer on signings including Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz after winning the league. The team has lacked consistency and currently sits 11 points behind Arsenal, making a title challenge unrealistic. Key players Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have seen notable dips in form despite new contracts. Manager Arne Slot views parts of the squad as still weak and is preparing for the January window, prioritising a centre-back while also assessing full-back, midfield and forward areas for potential reinforcements.
