Liverpool’s recent injury crisis in defence shows why they were looking at signing another defender this summer, but it looks like they might have dogged a bullet by passing on Aissa Mandi.

The first one comes after a poor piece of control and you could even argue that a red could’ve been given for that foul, so the second one is utterly needless and makes it easy for the ref.
