Liverpool delivered the Manchester City transfer message after Fabinho's brilliance at Chelsea

Jimmy Carragher insisted that Liverpool did not need to sign another center back after Fabinho’s impressive performance against Chelsea.

Brazilian midfielder, Who was sometimes seconded to the role last season, was called up again at center-back.

Some supporters have suggested that the Reds should recruit another center back to replace Lovren, as a result.

However, with Thiago Adding another option in midfield after arriving from Bayern Munich this week, Carragher believes Fabinho’s performance at Stamford Bridge has proven Liverpool need not reinvest in that position.

“There was talk of Liverpool needing a center back. Lovrin is on the left, Matip. You can’t trust a physique and that leaves Joe Gomez.”

“But I thought it was great today. Players who play in midfield – play a role in midfield for sure – usually read the game well, and have a great understanding of the game.

“That puts any idea that Liverpool think they need another center back because they have a lot of midfielders and they need to play those matches.

“I think if he falls into the center back at times, that’s another space in midfield that other players can play as well.

I really thought Juergen Klopp would put Virgil van Dijk on the right and Fabinho on the left, to deal with Timo Werner’s pace, not because the manager knew he was going to play from the left, but even when he plays in the middle, he likes the left channel, but he didn’t Do.
