Jamie Carragher is not convinced that Liverpool will go back in for Marc Guehi, insisting that Arne Slot needs to find a long-term replacement for Ibrahima Konate instead. I think Liverpool should have done a deal, and it’s blown up in its face," Carragher told the Echo of Glory podcast.

Liverpool's weaknesses from set pieces have been real cause for concern for Slot, with his side having already conceded 24 times so far this term.
