Jamie Carragher claims Liverpool need to reinforce ONE key position in January as they hunt down the Premier League title… and claims a first team player is 'hanging on every game'

Jamie Carragher has expressed doubts about Andy Robertson’s ability to perform at left-back for Liverpool, urging manager Arne Slot to prioritise signing a new defender in the January transfer window.

The Scotland international, 30, earned his 20th start of the season across all competitions during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. 

However, Carragher has raised concerns over Robertson’s form, despite acknowledging his contributions as a ‘legend’ of the club, claiming the defender is ‘hanging on in every game’.

Speaking after the game, Carragher said: ‘This manager’s style is slightly different to Klopp’s. It’s not as gung-ho. Liverpool have a lot more goals in the team than Arsenal have.’

He went on to add: ‘Liverpool still concede goals. Liverpool need to sign a full-back in January. I think at left-back. Robertson is an absolute legend, he’s just hanging on in every game now.’

Roy Keane shares a similar perspective as Carragher. Ahead of the match, the former Manchester United captain highlighted Robertson as a potential weak link in Liverpool’s lineup.

‘The one player I would look at Liverpool and I have question marks over in the last year or two is Robertson,’ said Keane on Sky Sports. ‘I do think if you’ve got a chance to run at him, you make the most of that.’ 

Manchester United, who had been under scrutiny for their poor form this season, produced a spirited display against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. 

Lisandro Martinez opened the scoring after pouncing on a defensive error by Liverpool, only for the hosts to respond with a goal from Cody Gakpo and a penalty by Mohamed Salah. 

Substitute Amad Diallo’s late equaliser salvaged a point for United in what was one of their best performances of the campaign. However, Harry Maguire was guilty of missing a sitter in the final moment of the game. 

The draw leaves Manchester United languishing in 14th place, a staggering 23 points behind league leaders Liverpool. Amorim has faced mounting pressure, but this spirited display offers some hope ahead of their FA Cup clash with Arsenal.
