Liverpool defence don dey leak goals this season — only two clean sheets in seven Premier League games and nine goals conceded already.
Virgil van Dijk still dey consistent as usual, but Ibrahima Konate never rediscover that 2024–25 form wey make am standout. To make matters worse, Konate dey injured again, while Giovanni Leoni don tear knee ligament wey go keep am out for the full season.
As e be now, only Joe Gomez and Van Dijk still dey available as senior centre-backs for Arne Slot. Wataru Endo wey dey defensive midfield role too dey sidelined, and considering Gomez injury record, things fit go bad anytime.
If more defenders break down, Liverpool fit even need push Ryan Gravenberch go play backline — and that one no be ideal for any Premier League title-chasing team.
To avoid wahala later, signing Marc Guehi must be priority number one. Even if Liverpool go need overpay small now, e go still make sense long term — because this team need serious depth and defensive balance if dem wan keep competing at top level.
