Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says his old club needs to change their transfer policy.

Carragher believes it's time to buy for the here-and -now.

"Their young squad is a good thing - they had a very young side against City, and they were so impressive I questioned the age of the City team afterwards.

"But there is that thing with Liverpool, I have felt they are always buying players with potential. I think in terms of looking to the future, it looks rosy, but you don't want to be continually looking 'oh this team in three years time'.

"You want to see what they're like next season, so maybe buy two or three players at 25 or 26 to go straight into the team. You don't want to go to the summer and buy another three 20-year-olds and always be looking what it is going to be like tomorrow. We want it today."
