The One Player that Liverpool need this January

You can prepare all you like, but you’ll never know if you’re ready until you’re flung into action. Kenny Dalglish made plenty of decent additions to his squad over the summer, but now that the season has began, there still appears to be a gap in Liverpool’s squad that needs to be filled.

What struck me, watching Tottenham entertain Liverpool at White Hart Lane, is just how slow the Red’s defence is. Patience amongst fans seems to be running out when it comes to Skrtel who wont have won anymore favour with his performance yesterday. I understand that Skrtel is being asked to play out of position, but it’s not like he’s been all that impressive when he’s played as a centre-half.

At best he’s a solid player and at worst he’s somewhat error-prone.

Then there’s Daniel Agger, a player who I greatly admire, but who tends to spend to long on the sidelines as a result of injury. Let’s face facts: he’s not a player you can rely on to play week-in and week-out. Whilst he can’t help the fact that he’s picked up injuries, his bad luck has cost Liverpool.

Whilst there’s plenty to be said about Jamie Carragher’s sense of positioning, his lack of pace is somewhat alarming. The Premier League’s more pacey strikers will turn Carragher inside out with the greatest of ease and I’m not too sure how much longer Liverpool can continue to support his presence. He may well be a club legend, but if he’s not got the legs for it anymore, it may well be time to move on, or to let another player take up greater prominence within the squad.

    At the start of the season, I would have said that we require a CB and a right winger. Now, as things stand, with our lumbering giant who seems very content in cloning a very fast tortoise, I think we need a CF who has pace, strength, can dribble and can shoot powerfully ( though I am more apt to find him in CM!!!!). However, given that Kenny’s own philosophy is to pass the ball, I didn’t see Carroll fitting in anyway!! I really wouldn’t mind someone like Soldado! N whatever happened to Scott Dann? Navas!!!! Hehe,now I m jus playin fantasy football!!!

    It makes no difference because whoever arrives will fall on their arse as soon as they pull on that shirt/barring the odd 1 or 2. Sickening.
