Liverpool have been prolific up front this season and have already scored 20 goals in the Premier League.
However, at the back, the Reds have not been solid by any means. After signing two new center halves and a goalie in the summer transfer window, the Merseysiders have only kept a single clean sheet in the league so far.
Klopp must reinforce his defense by signing a top quality defensive midfielder in the winter transfer window.
For now, the German manager perhaps rates Kevin Stewart very highly and according to reports (Daily Mail), the 6 ft DM has agreed a new deal with Liverpool that will keep him at the club until 2021.
The 23-year-old England international has featured in 4 league games for the Reds this season, mainly as a substitute. Moreover, he also played for 19 odd minutes in the EFL Cup game vs Burton Albion.
In your opinion, can Kevin Stewart become a key member of the Liverpool first team?

We certainly need a strong and specialist DM but what is beginning to worry me the most – and I know many people will disagree with me – is that our new goalie, Loris Karius, seems to be no better than Simon Mignolet when it comes to collecting high balls. It is a very obvious weakness in him in that he is probably an excellent shot-stopper but he doesn’t like coming off his line to catch balls under pressure.
The West Brom goal was a cross to the edge of the six-yard box. Ray Clemence would have had that for fun! If a goalie can’t dominate even to the edge of the six-yard box then something is seriously wrong. No keeper can expect to stay on his line and cope with a header, or shot, from a few yards out.
He’s flapped at quite a few balls since being here so we need to be aware that his strength is NOT against the high ball . . . and that is why we wanted Mignolet to be replaced.
Because of our performances so far Karius hasn’t really had much to do so we don’t really know what he’s like actually saving shots but, aerially, he looks weak.
I cannot see that Karius is any improvement on Mignolet except that he’s got nicer hair!
the goalkeeper is ok stop complaining
Let’s have confidence in Karius and he will develop to be better! YNWA
Both of them are shite and it will cost us in tight and important games as the season goes on and if klopp can’t see that he’s blind he’s got o address this in Jan and go and get Joe hart a left back I would go for Rodrigues and a holding midfielder I would go for a talent like neves and then are squad would be strong enough to challenge for the title
