‘Liverpool lack that’ – Steven Gerrard feel there’s still one major void in Iraola’s line-up

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard stated on The Overlap Daily that Liverpool still lack a strong defensive powerhouse in midfield under manager Andoni Iraola. Gerrard argued that despite heavy spending, the squad misses a dedicated ball-winner in the mould of Fabinho, Dietmar Hamann, or Rodri to protect the backline and break up opposition attacks.

The Empire of the Kop notes that Liverpool have conceded 16 goals in their opening 12 matches this season following significant transfer outlays on Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Bradley Barcola. The outlet highlights teenage prospect Trey Nyoni and Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara as potential internal and external defensive midfield solutions.
