Carra concedes: Liverpool were one-man team last season

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher admits they're badly missing Luis Suarez.

Carragher concedes the Reds were a one man team last season before the Uruguay striker left for Barcelona.

He told Sky Sports: "I'm trying to stop talking about Suarez. He's not there anymore, forget him, he's moved on and he's not coming back. You've got to look at what you've got now. And they have to get more from those attacking players. There's also got to be a lot more creativity in that midfield.

"But the longer it goes on it shows how important Suarez was - more important than we all thought at the time.

"At times last season Brendan Rodgers, in press conferences, came out and said 'we're not a one-man team, you're being disrespectful to some of the other players'. But week by week it's shown Liverpool were almost a one-man team at times last season. Those stats are damning really.

"Ok, they've had criticism defensively but this is probably as big a problem, if not more."
