Jamie Carragher believes Jurgen Klopp mistake is impacting Virgil van Dijk

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool need to sign a holding midfielder to protect Jurgen Klopp's defence amid Virgil van Dijk's woes.

Van Dijk, 31, was hooked at half-time during Liverpool's 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Monday night, with Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo both finding the net. An own goal from Ibrahima Konate and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's header finished off the scoring.

The result leaves Liverpool sixth in the Premier League table, four points behind Manchester United in fourth having played a game more. The Reds are danger of missing out on a Champions League spot and Carragher is urging them to fix their midfield.
