Liverpool hero Mark Lawrenson thinks Jurgen Klopp needs to strengthen in two areas this summer

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side enjoyed a sensational campaign this season, which saw them picked up the biggest prize in European football and narrowly missed out on the Premier League title, finishing one point behind winners Manchester City.
Lawrenson, who won five league titles with Liverpool in the 1980s, does not think an overhaul of the squad is needed, but fancied that improvements have to be made when players are shown the exit door.
The 62-year-old told the Mirror : "You'd look at Liverpool now and think it's really time to kick on. But if people are thinking there are going to be five or six new players, I don't see that.
"Klopp might need another left-back with Moreno going, because if Andy Robertson was out for two to three months, would you be happy with James Milner in there?
"This is where Liverpool have to get a little bit closer to Manchester City, who just have world-class replacements everywhere.
"So maybe a young left-back with loads of potential who Klopp can train on and who you hope won’t play for the first four or five months if Robertson is fit.
"Maybe a No.10, too. They tried to get Nabil Fekir, which didn’t happen because of his knee, but that kind of player would be good."
