Liverpool will need a new No.1 in 2027, as long-serving goalkeeper Alisson heads towards free agency. Did they have a perfect successor to the Brazil international on their books, only to let him leave? Stephen Warnock has suggested to GOAL that may have been the case, with the former Reds defender assessing a change between the sticks that will be difficult to get right.

Jamie Carragher has fiercely criticised Milos Kerkez following Liverpool's sluggish start to the Premier League season, bizarrely labelling the left-back as the 'Darwin Nunez of full-backs'. The former Reds defender also questioned the Hungarian's footballing intelligence.

Alexander Isak has become a “huge problem” for Liverpool, former Reds star Stephen Warnock has told GOAL, with the £125 million ($169m) striker “not at the races” and looking disinterested. The most expensive player in British football has failed to make the desired impact at Anfield, with it being suggested that he is struggling to handle the “weight” of an iconic shirt.

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed that marquee signing Bradley Barcola is in contention to make his debut against Ipswich Town. The £123 million winger arrived from Paris Saint-Germain late in the transfer window but lacked pre-season minutes in France. Despite this, his new manager is thrilled with his fitness levels and mentality ahead of Friday's upcoming fixture.
