Liverpool Must Stop Over-Relying On Salah And Mane – Carragher

Liverpool must bring in a goalscorer in the summer, Jamie Carragher has said. He recently revealed that it is clear how Divock Origi is nowhere near good enough as a back-up option for the Reds.

According to him, the club has been extremely reliant on Mane and Salah for goals, which should not be the case in a team of 11 players.

He added that signing a goalscorer ahead of next season will definitely ease the pressure on Mohammed and Sadio, and that will help LFC in the long run.

His words, “Liverpool definitely need to bring a goalscorer in,”

“I don’t know exactly what position for, whether that’s a centre-forward or a midfielder.”

“At the moment they are massively reliant on Salah and Mane, nobody else looks like they’re going to score.”

“Jota has been a miss, but whether Jota would ever be first choice in a Liverpool team – I’m not sure yet. He made a great start when he came in.”

“I think they need to add goals to the team, whether that’s a midfield player who can score goals because it looks like Wijnaldum is going to move on or it’s a case of doing something different through the middle.”

“You look at Bobby Firmino and Liverpool’s attacking players, they don’t actually have a striker. Jota is not a striker, same with Mane, same with Salah.”

“They have Divock Origi but he’s nowhere near good enough. And he a lot of the time plays out wide, because he can’t play as a centre-forward.”

“So Firmino plays that role but we always talk about him being a ‘false nine’, he’s not actually an out-and-out striker.”

“I think Liverpool could do with bringing a striker in, just to shake things up and primarily someone who gets goals. I think there’s too much pressure on those two players at the top of the pitch to score goals.”

“If they don’t score, Liverpool don’t look like scoring.”
