A defensive midfielder is a priority for them but their defensive personnel look past it or not good enough. In their pomp, they basically played with three defensive midfielders to protect the defence. Henderson would drop in to spare Alexander-Arnold's blushes. Since their midfield lost its legs, A-A has been exposed for the shite defender that he is. Konate, although a different build, is like Otamendi - brave, committed but rash and error-prone.
