Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool's failure to sign Marc Guehi could "blow up in their face" this season.
The Reds were on the verge of bringing the Crystal Palace centre-back to Anfield on Deadline Day, with Guehi even beginning a medical.
However, the Eagles pulled the plug on the deal late in the day as they faced difficulties finding a replacement and Liverpool missed out on their top defensive target.
It leaves Arne Slot potentially short at the back, with Joe Gomez and summer signing Giovanni Leoni providing the cover for first-choice pairing Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
With Gomez and Konate both having a history of injury problems, Carragher was asked on the Stick To Football podcast whether Liverpool could live to regret not signing Guehi.

"But that is the one area that could come back and blow up in their face.
Guehi was giving Liverpool competition at centre-back, they haven't really got that.
"They've got two starters and two understudies.
"I thought the class, the way in which he handled the question around the situation with Liverpool, he had a smile on his face.
You can just tell he's a really good guy.
"Taking it back 10 days, there was a narrative that you're better off being Alexander Isak because you get your move than being Marc Guehi, who doesn't.
"No.
In the long run, 70 years of your life, it will pay you back being Marc Guehi."
