After the weekend game Liverpool will need to sign a playmaker, as the game lacked creative edge. In the last four meetings with City in the Premier League at Anfield, Liverpool has won. In this game Liverpool were unable to maintain that supremacy and drew 0-0
The former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has said “If Liverpool are in a really good position in January, I think they've got to be looking to address that [midfield area], It's not even necessarily having someone who comes in and plays every single game. They just haven't even got anyone like that in the squad. Adam Lallana is too injury prone.”
He added "Even if Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain comes back, [Naby] Keita goes in or Fabinho goes in they are all the same. Liverpool don't play with a No 10, but there's no David Silva or Bernardo Silva or a player like that in the squad. I'm not talking about that player playing every week. It's just the fact of having someone like that in the squad to turn to when you feel you need that player.”
This will only strengthen the club. I was however a pit surprised that Xherdan Shaqiri was not introduced. Even if it was for the last 20 minutes of the game. However, Liverpool came out of the game with a point. Only because Riyad Mahrez missed an 86th-minute penalty.
