It's not the defenders, it's the way we're set up to attack that leaves the deffence exposed. Another top Mid would be first on my list to bulk up the squad.
If we had the right defenders the system would work.
Not sure it's all about our defenders, they are just too exposed. We rather needed a DM to play alonside SG. JA and JH are good but we need better, I won't even talk about Lucas who has been dreadful.
While I agree that we need better, I can see how much better they have grown, and next year I can see them being even better and much more experienced, which will be invaluable.
For me, like you said, we need a DM to play alongside Gerrard, and two good full backs. We need a DM like Wanyama, who is good at getting in the way, and pushing attackers out to the line, not allowing them space through the middle. That's where decent full backs will be able to track back and help.
