The Red is waiting for a beautiful ending for the sobbing drama. Sobs are targeted to add sharpness on the front lines. Sobs have proven to appear fertile in Newcastle by making 62 goals in 102 appearances.
But the former Arsenal player who is now a pundit, Paul Merson, assessed that Liverpool should not make a priority transfer priority for now. He said Liverpool needed more new center backs than sobs.
Merson’s opinion was based on the fragility of the Liverpool defense when he lost to Crystal Palace at the Community Shield. Liverpool are also minimal options at the central defender because they only have Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez.
While the front lines, according to Merson Liverpool are not in urgent condition to bring sobs because they have many options on the front lines. He actually considered the presence of sobs could actually bring new problems to Liverpool regarding the selection of tactics on the front lines.
“If I am Liverpool, I will look for more central defender than sobs. That must be a priority slot, the main central defender options are Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez,” Merson wrote in the column on Sky Sport.
“Compare with the front lines, the slot has quite a lot of options to attack without the need for sobs. Ekitice performed very well against Crystal Palace. Wirtz is also a top player. Everyone will be happy to see him playing this season. Add Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, and there are more than enough options there.
“Why do they have to expect to sobs when obviously they really need a defender? The arrival of sobs will actually cause more problems, because all attackers cannot play all,” he added.
