Carra: Reds must address problem position in summer
Liverpool must add another central midfielder this summer with the club failing to control the latter stages of games, says Your Site' Jamie Carragher.
Speaking towards the end of the Reds' game with Tottenham at Anfield, Carragher highlighted Alexis Mac Allister as fading towards the end of matches and said the Argentine needed support to help the Reds see out results.
"The longer the game goes in every game, Mac Allister struggles and thats a real problem for Liverpool, the centre of midfield," he said.
"Its something they have to address in the summer, or whether Szoboszlai goes back to the central midfield position.
"When Jones comes on and the game goes end to end, I dont know why he takes the Wirtz position.
"Hes not that player anyway, just go 4-3-3 and have an extra body in front of the back four. Theres too much space."

Is Chelsea's next No 1 goalkeeper currently at Strasbourg?
Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol on The Premier League Show:
I think Chelseas new goalkeeper will be Mike Penders, who they already own and is on loan at Strasbourg. Liam Rosenior has worked with him before. Hes supposed to be one of the best goalkeepers in Belgium. He could have a similar impact to the impact Senne Lammens had at Manchester United.
But I dont think Chelsea fans will be happy with that. They will say: we want the best, why do we keep buying these projects who may come good in a few years now? We should be buying the best in class now because were Chelsea.
