'Four or five players he doesn't rate' - Jamie Carragher makes big claim about Arne Slot as Liverpool legend reveals where Reds boss plans to strengthen in summer

Liverpool legend Carragher believes his old side will go on to win the Premier League title this term but next season they need a left-back, an attacking midfielder, and a striker. He also stated that there are a handful of players who are not quite to the Dutchman's liking.

He said on Sky Sports: "What I would say is, and it is an exciting thing for Liverpool, Slot hasn’t bought anyone really. They bought [Federico] Chiesa last minute to cover [Mohamed] Salah if he was injured. He is going to know this squad a lot better going into next season and if I’m being honest, he only ever used 14 or 15 players. There are probably four or five players in the squad he doesn’t rate. I am not being critical but he is probably thinking now I know what this team needs. While this team is going to go on and win the league title, I still think there’s three positions in this team that can be improved quite a bit. I think Liverpool, could bring a left back in, a centre forward in and an attacking midfielder, players coming into the team then maybe certain areas of the team. That’s pretty exciting because you would imagine Liverpool have money to spend."

Slot has done an excellent job since replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool last summer, with the Reds 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League, into the Carabao Cup final, and the last 16 of the Champions League. And to think they have done it by just signing Federico Chiesa, who has barely played this season, is quite the achievement.

Liverpool will hope to extend their lead at the top of the league when they host Newcastle United on Wednesday.
