Chiesa er skadet pt. måske Iraola derfor ikke nævner ham.

Ståle Solbakken, der i øvrigt selv er Liverpool-fan, lagde ikke fingrene imellem, da han var med i Viaplay-studiet i forbindelse med deadline day forleden:

“The full-backs are a walking nightmare defensively. Kerkez doesn’t seem to be able to get it right, even with his old manager. Frimpong is, for me, positionally weak and better going forward than going back.”

“It’s a bit thin and untested. I think they should have brought in a central midfielder who could have gone straight into the team. I’m not sure about the wings.”

“I think holding on to Gakpo is a good idea. They have untested wingers who will play more than they might want.”

“In the team they have now, I think he is good enough. I am a bit in between. For a Liverpool that is going to win the Premier League, he is not good enough. But when they are going to qualify for the Champions League, he is good enough. He has the physique and power and can be a goalscorer.”

“But then there is the body language. He can drop out of matches. He has to play in front of Kerkez, and then you have to make some heavy runs backwards. That can take away some of his breakthrough power.”
