Ferdinand: I’d love to have played against this Liverpool team

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says he wishes he could have played against the current crop of Liverpool players because they are so poor.

The 37-year-old says big changes are needed at Anfield in the summer and he claims he’d struggle to find players worth keeping.

Ferdinand said: “I would have loved to come here and play against this Liverpool team.

“I don’t see a threat. I don’t look at that team and think, he can hurt me. There is nothing to put you on the back foot at all.

“If I’m Jurgen Klopp, I’m a worried man. I’m thinking roll on to the next window.”

Asked how many players he thinks needed replacing, Ferdinand added: “The whole lot.

“You could potentially do them all if you wanted to.

“Nathaniel Clyne has been fairly consistent. Henderson is the captain so you wouldn’t see him changing.”
