ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYMills: Liverpool ‘need’ to sign a centre-forward this summerSpeaking exclusively to Empire of the Kop on behalf of betTOM, Mills said: “I think they need to find that centre-forward who’s going to fit the rest of the team. Is that a target man that’s going to hold the ball up and people feed off?“Liverpool have still got a lot of very good players in attacking areas and attacking midfield areas, but who’s going to be the focal point of that attack?

They tried lots of different players and positions and it was quite fluid at times.“I think you need to work out: how are Liverpool going to play, and then where’s that focal point? Who is going to be the main player, the main position in that team?“I would say it needs to be a centre-forward, whether that be a player that’s going to hold the ball up, or someone that’s going to run in behind.

Maybe that depends on how Isak comes back after the World Cup, if he’s completely fit.“The manager wants to play on the front foot, wants to be attacking, loves playing with wingers; but if you do that, you need that Harry Kane-style player that’s going to drop in at times, can hold the ball up. You don’t necessarily need that Isak player that’s going to run in behind and score those types of goals.“I think he has to look at what he’s got and think: ‘How do I get the best out of the wingers that I’ve got there already and the attacking midfield players?’ I would suggest maybe a different style of centre-forward might suit them a little bit better.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
