LIVERPOOL – Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher highlighted the depth of the Reds team, Liverpool’s nickname, especially as a central defender. Carragher thinks Liverpool need to bring in a new center-back after Dejan Lovren’s departure.
Liverpool allowed Lovren to go to Zenit Saint Petersberg in the 2020 summer transfer market. After Lovren left, Liverpool have yet to buy a new center-back as a replacement.
Liverpool now only have Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Sepp van den Berg. The main composition at the heart of Liverpool’s defense is Van Dijk and Gomez. When one is injured, Matip will be played by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Meanwhile, Van den Berg has been playing for Liverpool’s youth team more often because he is only 18 years old. Klopp only gave Van den Berg the opportunity to play in the first team when he was not appearing in major competitions.

If there are two injured players between Van Dijk, Gómez and Matip, Liverpool will not have a mature center back to cover. This happened when Liverpool made it through the second week of the 2020-2021 Premier League.
Liverpool had a great game, specifically against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, on Sunday 20 September 2020, WIB. Unfortunately, Gomez and Matip suffered injuries so they could not appear in the game.
