Luton didn\u2019t have the quality to really punish them, except for the goal we saw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiverpool\u2019s midfield has improved from what we saw last season, but they still have not got a top holding midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiverpool are not ready to win the league. Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool supporters know that right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want to get back into the top four. In terms of challenging again, I think they need a holding midfielder and a top-class defender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>EPL: Carragher names two players Liverpool must sign to beat Man City to title<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wpematico_credit\"><small>Powered by WPeMatico<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has named the two players the Reds need to sign to challenge Manchester City for the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194,1030,1031,15,160],"tags":[327,293,1033,156,719,202,586,351,180,1032,1034,201,538,833],"class_list":["post-707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-epl","category-liverpool","category-man-city","category-news","category-sport","tag-beat","tag-carragher","tag-city","tag-epl","tag-liverpool","tag-man","tag-must","tag-names","tag-news","tag-players","tag-sign","tag-sport","tag-title","tag-two"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
