Liverpool Need To Strengthen Their Backline – Jamie Redknapp Insists

Former Liverpool player Jamie Redknapp has disclosed that the Anfield giants will have to strengthen their defence to have any chance of winning the English Premier League (EPL) title.

Redknapp said this in his column for popular newspaper Daily Mail while reacting to his former team’s capitulation at Dean Court against hosts Bournemouth.

Jurgen Klopp’s team were 3-1 up with 15 minutes to go but ended up leaking three goals to lose the game 4-3 in dramatic fashion.

In the words of Jamie Redknapp, who is the son of experienced English manager Harry Redknapp, he said: “Liverpool are not going to win the title this season unless they sort out their defence.”

“They sorely missed the injured Joel Matip and with two midfielders — Lucas and James Milner — in their back four I was not surprised that they conceded four goals.

“I have never seen a team more in control as Liverpool were against Bournemouth on Sunday go on to lose. They should have had that game wrapped up and it is something Jurgen Klopp must address.

“Milner has done well this season but if Liverpool are to sustain a challenge, they need another left back and centre back in January.” he further stated.
