Jamie Carragher names three signings Liverpool MUST make this summer after Man Utd defeat

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool need to make three key signings after their woeful campaign. The Reds have endured a miserable title defence this season. They lost their 11th league game of the campaign on Sunday as they slipped to a 3-2 defeat to bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite having splashed the cash last summer, former Reds star Carragher believes the Reds need to dip into the transfer market again with deals for a new winger, defender and midfielder. Speaking on Sky Sports , he said: “ Liverpool fans have been desperate for Liverpool to spend real big money, maybe like we've seen Man City or Chelsea in the past in one summer. Everyone was excited in the summer, but it didn't feel Liverpool-like to me, or certainly over the last ten years and how they got to the top under Jurgen Klopp . “It felt almost Real Madrid - go and buy the best players for loads of money. I want Liverpool to go back to buying the right players for the right money and what they need right now. “They won't be able to do what they did last summer, they don't have that type of revenue. They don't need to bring six or seven players in, because it's more change, but there's three players that need to go right into the team for me. FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FB PAGE!

He said: “I do think there is an element of Liverpool though, we can’t rewrite history of what we all thought at the start of the season when we were all predicting them to win the league or get close. “We were either having them first or second probably. If you look at it, they wanted Frimpong to replace Alexander-Arnold, they wanted Kerkez to replace Robinson. They wanted Salah to repeat his season this year. They thought Ekitike and Isak would score 60 goals between them and Wirtz would just tuck in off the left and be a sensation. “It hasn’t worked. The recruitment hasn’t worked and obviously there’s been injuries as well. From last season, they have tried to I think to replace those players that they knew were aging and those players coming in other than Ekitike haven’t settled. “Kerkez and Frimpong haven’t been anywhere near Alexander-Arnold and Robertson at their best. Salah has been nowhere near the level of the previous Mo Salah. “Ekitike and Isak have been nowhere near the levels probably of Diaz, Jota and Firmino or whoever it was a couple of years ago. They just haven’t settled in yet the players that they’ve signed. I can’t work out whether it’s a really bad situation for Liverpool or they just need to be patient and let these players emerge next season and become the players that they really are.” Join our new WhatsApp community!
