Jamie Carragher: 'Jurgen Klopp will make big changes at Liverpool'

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher predicts that manager Jurgen Klopp will make wholesale changes to the squad over the summer.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has claimed that manager Jurgen Klopp will make "big changes" at the club, but not until the summer.

The German coach took charge of the Anfield side last month, winning three, drawing three and losing one of his seven games in charge so far.

Carragher has suggested that the current Liverpool squad is not good enough to match the club and Klopp's ambitions, and the 48-year-old will overhaul it once the current season has finished.

"Eventually, he will make big changes but I think in January it's always difficult to make those kinds of changes," Carragher told the London Evening Standard.

"Now and again you see signings coming in January who make a big difference - Luis Suarez was huge for Liverpool. Daniel Agger came in January too and he did really well, but it's not normally a time when you get the best players on offer.

"I imagine the changes Klopp will look to make and want to implement will come more in the summer. At present the team and the squad isn't quite good enough to be where everyone wants Liverpool to be and that's the whole point why you bring a new manager in."

Liverpool travel to Manchester City on Saturday when the Premier League season resumes.
