Big thanks to all the players and staff for the brillant performance during both legs. Sakho and Lovren were rock solid at the back and the brazilian Magician was superb but the one who impressed me most was Emre Can. He seemed to have up his game and during recent games he was outstanding in midfield. Hope he continues like that in our future games.

I think a top CM next to Can would do wonders for our team next season. Hendo will be an option but not first choice because of his injury problems and Grujic and Chirivella are not ready yet for regular first team football. An experienced CM would be a priority for me this summer, along with a new GK and winger of course.

It depends Indian. If Klopp see Can as a deeper midfielder, then we should buy a top class CM to play alongside him. If he wants to push Can higher up, then a top class holding midfielder. Henderson should be dropped. Can't pass, can't shoot, and couldn't protect the back 4. I am struggling to find any positive for him and a place next season.
He should first and foremost need to sort out his injury.

What's wrong with Henderson exactly? He played pretty well too and went close to scoring a number of times.

Man utd would have killed for Hendo in their team last night. Suspect most of the other top 8 sides would also want him too for his dependability and all round skills.

Problem is he's been injured of late and vomiting last night, can't believe how much stick the guy gets.

{Ed001's Note - it is embarrassing that people are on the back of a player that has been proven to be vital to us.}

The guy was ill last night, was throwing up at half time, and still went back out to play. And he was still better than most of their team. Its games like that that show why he is our captain.

I think what Klopp needs to decide is where Lucas is going to be predominantly playing next season - midfield or defence.

If it's as a a back up defender then Skrtel and Ilori should go. If it's in midfield then that's another body in there and there will be no room for a other central player.

Like ed002 says there needs to be squad space for any incoming players!

TBH Ed001, i do not want Hendo to leave at all. The problem is the lack of depth in our CM position when it comes to experience. Chirivella, Grujic, Allan and Stewart are still learning leaving only Can and Hendo as our senior options. Klopp does not seem to favor Lucas in a 2 man midfield so maybe looking at an experienced CM might be an option for the club this summer. But if Klopp believes the kids are ready to push Can and Hendo, then that is great.

{Ed001's Note - I would rather let the kids gain experience than buy someone to ensure they can't.}

Hendo will become himself again soon just git to give him time.

as I keep saying we need to stop blocking the youngsters path to the 1st team, let them learn as they play.

People forgetting already how good Henderson was post foot injury and how good steward was looking just a couple weeks ago before his injury, the futures bright.

I guess it all depends on whether we can win the league with the players we have. What's our ambition - 4th place or the league title?

I like the Henderson/ Can partnership but I certainly wouldn't be against a top class centre mid being brought in, someone in the Luka Modric ilk. Hendo is a 'play the way you're facing' midfielder and Can is turning into a real powerhouse - I think we need a centre mid that can play on the spot in tight areas, a player that can continuously get the ball to our advanced players when the space is tight.

Hi Ed totally agree. It would of been nice if Hendo took that chance and scored that goal, I still think his the best player we have arriving late in the box. If he can do it more often at the right moments he can get more goals. This will help the team even more, people must get off his back. You try and play they way he has with injuries and sickness, you'll be stretched off in 5mins. Ed001 what kind of player is Grujic i haven't seen him play how do you see him fitting in?

{Ed001's Note - I have not seen him play either, sorry.}
