3. Lack of midfield depth
Liverpool’s midfield isn’t bad when taking everything into consideration, but is a little lopsided in attack, as all of their midfield talent are based on creativity, with the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Iago Aspas being their two standout names. Lucas Leiva is very good at what he does, and can launch counter attacks when needed, though Steven Gerrard is getting old and is a shadow of his former self, while Jordan Henderson is still not a top class midfielder, and most likely never will be. Badu would be able to add some competition, while also giving Liverpool a whole new midfield dimension to work with, of course only the Udinese man would not be enough to turn Liverpool’s midfield into a world class setup, instead of their borderline average core they currently host, but he would certainly be a start.
