"Liverpool need to spend in January, they need to buy a centre-back, they should have bought a centre-back in the summer,"
"They didn't, and then the one centre-back they did buy, Leoni, a young Italian player, looked fantastic in the game that he played, a Carabao Cup game. Unfortunately, he got an ACL injury, so we won't see him until next season."
"Liverpool are probably one injury at centre-back from really derailing their season, so they have to go to the market in January."
Liverpool sit eight points behind league leaders after a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City and have lost five league matches this season, all within their last six games. The club spent £446m on transfers including Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giovani Leoni. Defensive depth has been weakened by Leoni's season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury, creating acute vulnerability at centre-back. The departures of Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez and Harvey Elliott, and the loss of Diogo Jota, have increased turnover. Reinforcements are required in the January window, with urgent emphasis on a centre-back.
