I know everyone picking new players they would love, I know I'm going back for a few years now but we used to have a few leaders on the pitch who you could always hear shouting instructions to one another. This would be from the goalkeeper, a defender and also someone in midfield. Whoever Klopp puts in the side or buys now not only needs to be better than what we have but also needs to be a leader.

Couldnt agree more with this. Every side needs a mix of players but ours is screaming out for someone like Souness who isn't going to accept players taking games lightly.

Agree entirely. If you look at Chelsea Luiz and Azpilicueta are clearly the skilled players with the ability on the ball.

However, Cahill is the leader. Since he was made captain Chelsea have lost just 1 game in over 20. He is a proper no nonsense defender who brings the best out of the more gifted guys alongside him

Could you imagine the uproar if we had gone for Cahill last summer though?

We need a leader in our defence. Not necessarily a great player. I advocated for Scott Dann. I think Harry has previously pined for Jose Fonte in the past. Lots of people wanted Ashley Williams in the summer.

I think the fans can see we need someone with a similar mentality as Carragher had. We just look so soft centred. I don't really care who we sign as long as they will get in the faces of the rest of the team when they aren't performing. I'd even take Pepe from Madrid right now! He might get a few cards but nobody would dare play poorly with him breathing down their neck.

We can only speculate though. Hopefully Klopp has an ace up his sleeve.

Agree. we need a defender who can put the fear of god into opponents and team mates. If you have not done so already look at pepe's YouTube homage. think it's called pepe will kill you. Dirty player yes but efective. Reminds me of an old NBA player bill Lambeer who got in your head one way or another.

It's real shame the academy did not give us another Cara.

Seems there is a famine of quality leaders these days. As noted pool, Chelsea, United, Arsenal used to have leaders in at least 2 if not 3 areas of the pitch: Carra and Gerard; Cech, Terry and Lamps; Schmeichel, G. Nev and Keane; Seaman, Adams and Viera.

Lack of leaders, lack of loyalty and lack of will to win.
