[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = Jamie Carragher diagnosed that Liverpool needed a type like Philippe Coutinho.
Liverpool lost 0-1 to Chelsea in the 27th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season held in Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 5th (Korean time). This prevented Liverpool from adding points and placed it in 7th place (43 points).
After the game, Carragher appeared on’Sky Sports’ in the UK and said, “We need type 10 in Liverpool now. Coach Jurgen Klopp says attacking through pressure is better than using Player 10, but Liverpool’s pressure is not good right now. In the past there was Coutinho, but he left. But now you need a player of the same type as Cutinyu.”
The reason Carragher insisted on recruiting a player who could give a sharp pass when attacking was because his performance at home was not good lately. With this loss, Liverpool lost one draw and five in their recent six league games in Anfield. He was defeated five times in a row, setting an infamous record of being the first in the club’s history to lose five consecutive homes. The problem is that the goals are not being scored. 85 shots were attempted in six home games, but there were no field goals.
“It’s unlikely to score a goal,” Carragher said. I can’t even feel like I’m going to score goals. The team against Liverpool is defending deeply. Liverpool have no players to pass through their opponents’ defensive gaps. When the pressure isn’t strong, those players can help create opportunities. There is currently no player in Liverpool to put the last pass.”
It’s also a problem that there is no player to put in a threatening pass, but it’s also bad for Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firminu, and Sadio Manet’s ability to determine goals lately. In this regard, Carragher said, “The Diogo Steering will help. When I was playing, the steering looked sharp. But Liverpool has to do a big job in the transfer market to score goals.”
