Am I the only person that thinks Liverpool have the depth to compete for all 4 trophies again? They were very close in 21/22 to winning everything and, in my opinion, they had a weaker squad than right now. They basically have 2 premier league quality midfields, extremely promising youngsters and they’ve still got Thiago to return to the mix.

    Think we’re better equipped then previous seasons but I’d like a few more guys in for upgrades and rotation.

    Robbos legs have started to go. Mostly becusse he’s played practically every game Sind he’s been a starter. Only really rotated when injured or when we play in lesser competitions. We need to bring a long-term replacement for him next summer or the following January, before we have a Hendo problem on our hands.

    Matip is likely leaving at the end of the season, we need a top quality guy in as a replacement. VVD isn’t getting any younger and Klopp has said himself Konate can’t play every minute of every game. You really need 3 top CBs imo to compete for anything. This way we also don’t put too much pressure on Quansah to develop, we should be casually adding more minutes to him as we progress but not throw him in the deep end.

    We need to keep Mo for a few more seasons. I understand the fee and that it’s crazy for a 30 year old, but he’s still our talisman and I don’t see anyone on the market who could one day be good enough to replace him. He hasn’t really shown any real drop off, so if we get him for a few more seasons it would be good imo. That way you see Doak progress and maybe he achieves his potential and we only need to bring in a depth option.

    I’ve always said we need a top DM. We constantly show we’re too wide up and teams walk right through us. I like Endo and Baj’s long term midfield position isn’t set in stone for me right now. Also Baj has shown injury concerns so far (mostly due to us giving him so many minutes so soon), so I’d like the club to drip feed him minutes and slowly add to it and not throw him back in the deep end like we did last season. We’re fine playing the “smaller” teams with Mac in DM because we control possession most of the time, but for games agaisnt the big sides we need that world class DM to break up play and aid our defense.

      Sadly I just don’t see Mo staying beyond this season, hope I’m wrong but he’ll have one year left and it will be either give him another massive contract (which will still be a quarter or less of Saudi offer) or cash in an absurd amount.
