Steven Gerrard advises Liverpool to undergo a major team overhaul, highlighting that it's time to adjust the squad if they hope to compete for championships again.
Steven Gerrard, the legendary former Liverpool captain, shared his views on his former club’s situation, stating that the team needs a significant transformation—likened to a "team surgery"—to upgrade the squad and return to competing successfully after last season's performance fell short of many expectations.
The former England midfielder believes Liverpool still have talented players on the roster, but the key problems lie in the squad’s balance and the fitness levels of some players, which must be addressed if the club wants to challenge top teams at the highest level again.
Gerrard thinks Liverpool must make changes both in strengthening the squad and in internal management to build long-term resilience, maintaining the standards that the club achieved during its successful periods.
Regarding the team’s situation, Gerrard said, “I think Liverpool played very poorly last season. The team needs a major overhaul, fixing the squad’s balance, getting some players back to fitness, and ensuring the key players maintain good form.”
