Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has issued a stark warning to his former club, claiming their Premier League title ambitions could crumble without strategic January signings.
The Sky Sports pundit believes Jurgen Klopp's side, currently sitting top of the table, still have glaring weaknesses that rivals could exploit in the second half of the season.
Defensive Concerns Loom Large
"Liverpool are in a fantastic position," Carragher admitted, "but I look at that defence and midfield and think they're still two or three players short of being genuine title favourites."
The former England international specifically highlighted concerns at left-back and in central defence, where injuries have exposed a lack of depth.
Midfield Reinforcements Needed
Carragher also questioned whether Liverpool's midfield rebuild is truly complete: "They've brought in some excellent players, but is there enough physicality there for the tough away games coming up?"
The pundit's comments come as Liverpool face crucial fixtures against title rivals in the new year, with the January transfer window representing their last chance to address squad deficiencies.
Klopp's Transfer Dilemma
With Financial Fair Play constraints and the need for immediate impact signings, Klopp faces a challenging window. Carragher believes the German must be ruthless: "This is the time to push - one or two quality additions could make all the difference."
Liverpool fans will be watching anxiously as the January window approaches, knowing their club's title hopes may depend on decisive action in the transfer market.
