Liverpool need a new midfielder. Badly. The perfect signing is a former Barcelona graduate who could fix everything.
Liverpool drew 2-2 with Newcastle United on Sunday in what was a very, very poor performance. In fact, it was the same performance we saw across last season - struggling for any control before a late goal changed the way the points were going.
This time, Liverpool got that goal thanks to a late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty. But it merely papers over the cracks.
The Reds were far, far too open and Newcastle twice took advantage of a weak midfield to get a free run at Liverpool's defence. Both goals came that way for the home side.
And this was the case last season, too. Liverpool's defensive numbers in midfield were horrendous last season - they've essentially built a midfield out of attacking midfielders, with none of them able to stop attacks.
