Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool to “buy a defender” following their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

Arne Slot’s side extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points, although that lead could be reduced to four when Arsenal face Tottenham on Wednesday. The Gunners will have played one more game.

They are getting closer to the finish line in their bid to win their second Premier League title in Slot’s first season in charge, but have now drawn two games in a row.

Liverpool have scored by far the most goals in the league this season (48, at least six more than any other team), but their defensive record has slipped of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last seven league games. Premier League.

Virgil van Dijk remains the heart of the Reds’ defense, with fellow starter Ibrahima Konate recently returning from injury. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson remain first choice at full-back.

But Chris Wood was the last man to expose the backline when he played on the left before scoring on Tuesday, and Carragher took to social media to call for reinforcements in his former team’s defence.

He took to social media to express his views, adding that Liverpool “should have won” the game against Forest.

“Liverpool should have won tonight, but they continue to create great chances even in games they don’t win,” Carragher wrote in X. “But the defensive solidity they had at the start of the season has disappeared. We always look likely to concede.

He ended the post with: ‘Buy a defender!!!!’

It seems unlikely that Liverpool will turn to the transfer market this month, at least not for anything major, as Slot has cover in all three defensive positions.

Conor Bradley has excelled at right back, while Jarell Quansah remains a reserve at centre-back.

Joe Gomez, who can play in a back four, is injured, while Kostas Tsimikas, the substitute left back, provided the assist for Diogo Jota’s equalizer against Forest.

Meanwhile, Slot focused on the offensive aspect in his post-match press conference.

“In the second half we created a lot of chances, but we have to give credit to Nottingham,” he said. ‘They defend well and throw themselves in front of each center.

“We wanted three points but the players gave everything. We played excellent football in the second half and created one chance after another.

“I don’t remember ever making a substitution that worked as quickly as the one that brought on Jota, but I’m not proud of it. We needed goals. Scoring from a set piece was not something I had in mind when I brought him on.
