This summer, Liverpool sold Jarrell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen and have not yet added any new centre-backs. Leaving them with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté. While Joe Gomez recently suffered an injury and has already returned to Liverpool.
“I saw some positives, but I think we still need to improve in some areas. We were sacked too many times on the counter-attack today. But that may be because we were missing seven senior players and we needed 20 players to play. As a result, many players were not playing in their positions. But we were still able to play our normal game. But sometimes we were too open on the counter-attack.”
“I look at the group of players we have and I don’t think we need to worry about centre-backs! As for the depth? I think Ryan (Gravenberch) showed today that he can play that position. Last season he did it as well, even though we all know we like him as a number six.”
“Wata (Endo) can play in that position. Joe Gomez had a little injury, he did well for us last season as well. We still have a lot of options, but it’s true that Jarrell Quansah has left and we haven’t replaced him yet.”
