"I grew up a Liverpool supporter, I played for them and I’ve played for many other clubs."But if I put my football hat on and leave my heart out of it for a little bit, I’m not one of the pundits or football intellectuals who even think we should be talking about changing the manager."When you run a football club, you should always have backup plans in place - that’s the norm. You’ve invested a lot of money in players that he was part of bringing into the club, and I think a lot of those players are very good players."The Premier League is the hardest league to become accustomed to.

If you take one of the best ever in Mo Salah, his early time in the Premier League wasn’t incredible when he was at Chelsea."I’m just not someone who’s thinking about changes. I think there were other factors stifling their growth, and going into this summer, a lot of that should be gone."Of course, there are a couple of positions they should look to strengthen, but I think they should be doing that with Arne Slot and his staff.”The American, who played for the Reds between 1997 and 2000, also identified three areas for the club to focus on this summer in the transfer window.Friedel added: “There are three positions that Liverpool need to strengthen.

I think they should go for a defensive centre midfielder, another centre-back, and they will need to add another attacking piece.""But you also have to take into account that they’ve paid a lot of money, and put a lot of resources and energy into getting Isak in. People probably notice that now he’s not there."So maybe they need someone who does a lot of that extra work, but I’d like to see a really top defensive midfielder and one more centre back come in."I think that would help the team a lot.
