Do we really need a Midfileder going into 22/23 season? | Gini, Jude Belligham, M.Nunes | The Deluded Reds Podcast
With the PL season opener looming close, Liverpool's midfield situation is still not clear. 3 fit midfielders are not enough for the entire season. We need at least twice that number to keep the ball flowing smoothly from defence to attack. To address our problems in the long run, we need a premium midfielder. But to tackle our current injury crisis, we need a short term fix. The question is not, has Klopp figured it out? The question is, is he going to act on that need and sign a midfielder soon? Jude, Gini, M. Nunes, Aour, are a few names linked with us in recent times. In this episode, we’re chatting up with the BoldMonk from the ‘Menace and The Monk’ show to understand his perspective on our midfield situation.
