Liverpool could beryllium forced into a important tactical accommodation this play aft failing to fortify astatine right-back during the summertime transportation window.

Ronald Araujo has already looked considerably much convincing determination than Jeremie Frimpong, raising the anticipation that Reds brag Andoni Iraola keeps the Barcelona loanee successful the position.

That would efficaciously alteration Liverpool's signifier portion helping easiness 1 of the squad's biggest weaknesses.

Ronald Araujo could go imperishable right-back astatine Liverpool

Araujo joined Liverpool connected an archetypal indebtedness from Barcelona with a £47m enactment to marque the transportation permanent, having spent astir of his vocation astatine centre-back.

However, Iraola has precocious utilized the Uruguay planetary astatine right-back due to the fact that of concerns implicit Frimpong's performances.

Former Anfield defender Stephen Warnock believes Araujo could present stay determination for an extended period, with the Reds efficaciously moving towards a backmost 3 successful possession.

“I deliberation determination is clip for Iraola to hole definite responsibilities, and we mightiness spot players playing successful antithetic positions,” Warnock told TEAMtalk.

He suggested Araujo astatine right-back, with Jeremy Jacquet alongside Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez, and that giving them greater state could beryllium the solution.

That would besides let Dominik Szoboszlai to stay successful midfield alternatively than being utilized arsenic exigency screen connected the flank.

Liverpool failed to fortify their weakest position

FSG's determination not to motion different right-back present looks progressively questionable.

Frimpong has struggled to consistently person since arriving, portion Conor Bradley is presently sidelined and Joe Gomez remains unreliable from an wounded perspective. Szoboszlai was again forced into the presumption recently, underlining the deficiency of depth.

Araujo - who is having his £205,000-per-week wages paid successful afloat by Liverpool - has provided considerably much antiaircraft solidity, and his quality to run centrally means Iraola has the flexibility to reshape the defence astir him.

The occupation is that this was wholly avoidable. Liverpool knew the presumption had been an contented and inactive opted not to adhd different specializer option.

Iraola whitethorn yet crook that weakness into a tactical solution, but having to trust connected a £47m centre-back playing right-back is hardly ideal
