Kenny: ‘Alarm bells are ringing’ at Liverpool amid ‘unacceptable’ claim
Paddy Kenny claims Liverpool have to “heavily invest” in January if they are to keep up with Man City in the title race.
The former Leeds United stopper, speaking exclusively to Football Insider,
insists the Reds can’t afford another quiet transfer window.
Liverpool lost 1-0 to Leicester on 28 December, stalling their momentum in the title race.
The Reds created plenty of chances and Mo Salah missed a penalty with the lack of a final product costing Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Kenny was concerned by what he saw and claims Liverpool must invest heavily in January with key players already set to miss several games.
“There could be some alarm bells ringing after that Leicester game,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“Liverpool were miles off it. They just didn’t look like they wanted it enough.
“So that was a blow for them with Man City looking so dominant as well.
“Then you look at Salah, Mane and Keita all set to go to the Africa Cup of Nations, they need new players in January.
“The midfield is already a bit weak, for me, so that is somewhere I would look to improve.
“But Salah is the one who will be missed most, obviously. A new attacker could just freshen up that frontline.
“I don’t think Liverpool can afford another quiet window. They need to heavily invest or they won’t win anything again.
“For this manager and these players that’s unacceptable.”
Liverpool sit third in the table ahead of Sunday’s (2 January) game against Chelsea.
They could move ahead of the blues with a win at Stamford Bridge.
