Former Manchester United midfielder and TV pundit Owen Hargreaves has revealed what Liverpool are missing in the title race.
Manchester United are currently locked in a title battle with Arsenal and Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are third on 28 points after being held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium last weekend. They are two points clear of leaders Arsenal and a point behind second-placed Manchester City.
Owen Hargreaves, who won the Premier League once with Manchester United, has hinted that the Reds lack a defensive midfielder of Rodri’s caliber and are falling behind in the title race. Hargreaves insisted Jurgen Klopp’s side have an outstanding midfielder, with Dominik Soboslay receiving particular praise. But he said a top defensive midfielder could take them to the next level. The former Bayern Munich midfielder told Premier League Productions, as quoted by HITC Sport: “They are definitely contenders. One thing I can say is that there is still a need for a central midfielder. defense. I think the three midfielders they have are good.
Szoboszlai was great. I really like it. But the Liverpool team needs a Rodri guy. I think if I can get that, I can compete and win the cup.” Liverpool have completely overhauled their midfield this summer. Mac Allister has been named as Klopp’s number 6 this season but has yet to show his best form. Adding a top defensive midfielder could help them get the most out of Argentina’s World Cup-winning player.
