Why Liverpool must snap up Morgan Schneiderlin in January

Backline needs protecting

Liverpool have conceded more goals than any other side in the top 8 of the Premier League. Everybody knows they are playing brilliant football and have the offensive side of the game sorted down to a tee, but the fact that they’re still leaking goals regularly will be a cause for concern.

If the Reds manage to keep it a bit tighter at the back during the second half of the campaign then they’ll be hot favourites for the title; an in-form Schneiderlin could make all the difference in this respect.
