Liverpool legend says owners must spend more money on players to improve team's chances of winning games.

Chris Wood was the first to score a goal for Nottingham Forest, kicking off the game against Liverpool on Tuesday night. But Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool player, warned the team's bosses that they must purchase a defender this month in order to maintain their chances of winning the Premier League title. Despite a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, Carragher believes there is cause for concern and action must be taken.
The game was a close one, with Nottingham Forest having numerous opportunities to win. However, the impressive defence that Liverpool had earlier in the season seemed to have disappeared, with their defenders and goalkeeper Matz Sels putting up a strong performance to keep the score at 1-1. While the result is not disastrous, as Liverpool is still six points ahead at the top of the Premier League table, Carragher believes that the team's once solid defence is now fragile and needs reinforcement.
According to Carragher, the solution cannot be found within the team's current squad and he has urged Liverpool's hierarchy to make a move during the transfer window. He took to X to express his thoughts, stating that despite the draw, Liverpool continues to create big chances in all their games. However, their defensive solidity has vanished, and they always seem likely to concede. His message was clear: buy a defender.
In the game against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool's back four consisted of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk in central defence, with Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate on either side as full-backs. However, both Robertson and Konate were substituted in the 66th minute, and their replacements immediately linked up to score the equalizer. Kostas Tsimikas delivered a corner and Diogo Jota headed it home, leveling the score.
While Carragher did not specify which position in defence needs strengthening, he has spoken about it before and believes that an upgrade at left-back is necessary. He expressed his concerns about Robertson's performance and believes that Tsimikas is not a suitable replacement. According to Carragher, bringing in a left-back during the transfer window would put Liverpool in a strong position to win the league.
