On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, the pressure is mounting on Liverpool with just eight days remaining in the transfer window. Dave reacts to the 2-2 draw at Newcastle and asks some uncomfortable questions after Liverpool were outfought and outworked despite winning the statistical battle. With the midfield lacking defensive instincts, the full-backs struggling and Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak yet to hit their expected levels, does Andoni Iraola need more than attacking reinforcements to solve Liverpool's problems? Attention then turns to a potentially frantic end to the transfer window. Liverpool are expected to return with another attempt for Yankuba Minteh, while PSG duo Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye remain firmly in the conversation after neither travelled for PSG's latest fixture. Dave also discusses the possibility of Barcola's situation running deep into deadline week and why Cody Gakpo's potential departure could depend on Liverpool landing their attacking targets first. But will another winger really solve Liverpool's biggest problems? With the midfield debate intensifying and defensive reinforcements far from guaranteed, Dave assesses what Liverpool actually need before the window slams shut — while also highlighting encouraging performances from the club's new arrivals.
