The appointment of Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, has brought with it the implementation of a 3-4-3 system that Martinez would appear to be ideally suited to.

Newcomer Leny Yoro also endured a difficult evening but Carragher fears Martinez’s weaknesses should be even more of a concern.

You look at young Yoro, he doesn’t really follow in on the first goal. The overlap on the second goal that’s something he should read and should see.
