What do Liverpool want in midfield?
After a summer time of heavy funding in the course of the park final 12 months, it appears unusual that we’re allegedly set so as to add yet one more midfielder to the combo within the upcoming window.
Stranger but, when there’s each risk competitors for locations might get even harder if Arne Slot opts to transform Trent Alexander-Arnold right into a everlasting midfield possibility.
However that’s a dialogue for an additional day! Within the meantime, it’s an unavoidable actuality that our midfield has confirmed, at instances, simple to carve by means of for opposition sides.
The apparent resolution for a lot of can be bringing in a world-class No.6 with the legs and defensive nous to allow our extra artistic midfielders to shine additional ahead.
Is Ederson the person for Richard Hughes and Co.?
There’s no query the Brazilian has performed a giant half in Atalanta’s success final time period, which culminated in a well-deserved Europa League last victory over Xabi Alonso’s seemingly indomitable Bayer Leverkusen.
We’re unsure whether or not he suits the mould of a No.6, nonetheless, judging by Tiago Nunes’s description (by way of Sky Sports activities): “He’s a box-to-box participant with the vitality to maintain going backwards and forwards on a regular basis.”
The 44-year-old went on so as to add: “I see him enjoying as a box-to-box participant, a midfielder who isn’t actually somebody to construct the sport however extra of a participant who can break by means of strains, get into the ultimate third, progress up the sector. I see him extra as a midfielder with the liberty to get ahead.”
While it definitely seems like Ederson’s an thrilling potential switch for any membership throughout Europe, we don’t assume one other all-action, forward-minded midfielder is what we’d like.
Would we like our subsequent prime No.6 to be able to influencing occasions within the last third? Fabinho’s world-class passing and imaginative and prescient did ship for Liverpool, in that regard, in his heyday at Anfield.
However most vital of all is any potential goal’s potential to affect proceedings between the midfield and again 4.
