Jamie Carragher believes Jurgen Klopp will have to buy well to be successful at Liverpool

 

Rodgers spent nearly £300million on players including Christian Benteke, Mamadou Sakho, Roberto Firmino, Lazar Markovic, Mario Balotelli and Adam Lallana during his time at Anfield. 

But a number have have failed to live up to their huge price tags in the past couple of seasons.

Klopp will be able to bring in his own players with the January now window open, having struggled to improve consistency since taking over in October.

And Carragher has told the German to make sure he gets it right if the Reds want to challenge for major honours again.

 

Carragher said: “The reason they changed the manager is because results had not been good and that comes down to players that have been brought into the club.

“The reason most managers get criticised or lose their jobs is because of recruitment more often than not, so for Jurgen Klopp the key is to recruit well in January or in the summer and over the next three or four years and make Liverpool better.

“He’s obviously got the ability and the pedigree as a manager and you can see that with the results he’s had at Dortmund.

“He’s a top manager but it’s just about bringing better players in.”
