Liverpool supporters may still be reeling from the crushing defeat and performance at the hands of Real Madrid, something Paul Merson was quick to criticize once again in midfield.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Arsenal man said: “They can’t do it at the moment. They don’t have their legs in midfield. They are without legs. How old are you [Luka] Modric, 37? She went through him like a knife through butter. It shouldn’t happen.

It’s not something we want to hear and it will add more fuel to the fire we need to strengthen the midfield this summer, something many expect us to do now.
However, and before this happens, Jurgen Klopp needs to find a way in the short term to click the team before the end of the campaign and try to finish the season as solidly as possible.
