Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool to attack the transfer market in the summer following Tuesday’s goalless draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
“The thing watching Liverpool they still play the same way, the same idea is there but they can’t do it,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
“When you look at the Man City game they played it like the Liverpool from three or four years ago, man to man all over the pitch, be brave and play high but they are just not that Liverpool.
“As a manager do you stick to your ideas and principles or do you adapt them with how your players are.’
“Klopp is a great manager of course but even tonight they still play like Liverpool from three years ago and got a 0-0 out of it and you are scratching your head thinking how, the big thing is how easy other teams get chances.
“Klopp tried to do different things at times this season but he is not going to change completely, he does what he does and if they keep doing it will keep leaving themselves open, basically playing man for man all over the pitch and that’s why you see Man City.”
“Chelsea tonight and throughout the season Liverpool are still trying to play the same way with the players who can’t do it right now,” he continued.
“Whether it is the same players who have been doing it for four or five years and need new players. I don’t think there is anything more to look at it other than they need to attack the transfer market and get back to having that energy in the team to implement Klopp’s idea.”
