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.

I hate Liverpool but honestly they’re the only ones that can compete with city
We maybe not be the hero everyone wanted, but we are heroes nonetheless
Dread to think about the mental gymnastics other fans would do to avoid calling a haul of PL + EL + FA + EFL a quadruple.
The squad is most likely capable of it, but it’s just so hard to be that consistent across every competition I don’t see it happening, close as we were the other season.
We certainly have a good looking squad atm, however one or two improvements are still needed and more worrying for me, is next summers transfer window.
Robbo is 29 now and is not getting any younger. Tsimikas is a good deputy so this may be ok for another season or two, but defo an area we need to look at.
Midfield is still a concern, signings of Mac, Szob and Gravenberch have been excellect and Endo is slotting into the team nicely. Add to that the guys we already have like Jones, Elliott, Bajcetic and Thiago (although tbh I don’t even include him when I look at the squad anymore as he is likely to leave next year and probably won’t get much game time any more.
A plyer like Andre in January would be mega, then we could add another out and out killer DM like Fabinho in the summer.
Attack is looking very tasty atm, but the big concern on everyones mind will be Salah going to Saudi next summer. Honestly, the money is insane, but he has not showed any signs of slowing down and I would not be opposed to tying him down for another 1 or 2 years. His output cannot be replaced. You may be able to spread it across the front line, but nobody can replace his numbers, and that isn’t even taking into account his playmaking abilities.
Since when is four trophies the aim for Liverpool lol never won a premier league double or the treble but all of a sudden they start to have a good season and it’s ‘can we win the quadruple’
Mate we were 2 wins away from it in 21/22, with probably half the midfield depth
Rich coming from united fans who talked about winning a mickey mouse quadruple just last season
I think we can challenge for all yes. Favourites for Carabao Cup and most likely Europa League, going strong in the prem so far and only lost because of an unprecedented VAR confusion. All new signings have slotted in brilliantly and the likes of Gomez, Matip & even Jones who a year ago, looked like their Liverpool careers were finished, have been playing great. Very promising signs.
Sleeping giants for the title for sure, but could see Klopp going all in for the UEL. Another season of missing out on top-4 could be a problem to the Liverpool 2.0 project.
This years top-4 is gonna be competitive asf
Thiago? Who’s that guy?
The guy whose leg fell off.
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.
Think it’s good but not excellent so I can’t see them competing for all 4 trophies, at least for now
I think for prem we actually good, but we’d have to bank on cittt dropping off which you’d never bet on, FA Cup and Carabao is anyone’s, and Europa league I think we have favourable odds
Surely that DM position is a glaring hole. Especially considering that Liverpool wanted 2 DMs and didn’t get either.
I don’t know why you are getting downvoted, your right, however I think endo and mac is sufficient until Andre (hopefully) signs in Jan, also Thiago and Baj should be back maybe one day in 2031
Definitely not a Liverpool fan but what’s impressed me other than Szlob is Curtis Jones in midfield
I’ll tell you who has impressed me more then anyone in the midfield simply due to lack of expectations, and that’s 20 year old Jarell Quansah, because he’s effectively looked as good, if not better, then any of our Cb’s recently, which include VVD and Konate. The way he delt with everything that was thrown at him, such as those difficult set plays like one of the last plays of the game, for example, where he casually headed it over our goal and out for a corner, with 6’5" Kieffer Moore breathing down his neck, was brilliant, as he showed the composure of a Cb nearly twice his age. I have been so impressed with the young lad, and so much so that idk if a left sided backup Cb is as much of a priority as it initially was, although it would be nice to add to our defensive depth.
Gravenberch also looking really good
