Gary Neville is such a train-wreck, I find Carragher to be more level headed.
GNev "3 players at Liverpool made such a big difference, Van Dijk, Firmino and Fabinho, if United can get them in the next 12-18 months it will make a massive difference".
This idea that VVD singlehandedly fixed Liverpool's defense massively understates the impact of Alison, Robertson, Matip and the emergence of TAA as well as the brilliance of Klopp in forging a cohesive unit. This idea that in 12 to 18 months Man United will be at the same level only if we buy our own Virgil, Firmino and Fabinho is such a crock of shit.
Liverpool in the last 3 years have bought Mane, Salah, Alison, Virgil, Robertson, Firmino, Naby Keita, Fabinho, Shaq, Ox, Wijnaldum, Matip etc. And have Klopp. This has not been 2-3 players having an impact, this has been many players having marginal impact overall, under a brilliant manager.
