Hello fellow reds

I just wanted to ask, how does everyone feel about the way we are shaping up for next season? Happy with the new signings? Not excited? If not, why? Do we need more players? Move players on? What would you guys do that you don't think Klopp or LFC in general will do?

Look forward to your replies

Kam.

We are a left back away from a very strong squad in my opinion. If Karius and matip can hit the ground running I think we can have a very good season. We've got more than enough going forward to cause anyone issues so as long as we don't have too many injuries in the middle of the park I think we can do very well. Maybe not win the title but definitely push on like Spurs have done. All the other 'big' clubs changing managers will either be a blessing or a curse so it's hard to tell what will happen but I think top 4 is a definite possibility. No silverware would be extremely disappointing for me.

Im positive about the new season ahead. The signings we have made are the right ones. Matip tall strong centre back looks like you can compete with anyone and alongside Lovren will be good. Grujic is also a tall unit and has been bulking up I here so can see him used in the 2 sitting mids alongside Emre or Jordan or off the bench. Karius is a big improvement from Migs. Mane really excites me. Yes his fee is big but he has everything and if Klopp can sort his attitude out then I think he can be dynamic and have a big say in how our season go's. We will have 3 go to men in Couts, Bobby and Mane with Studger or Divoc up top. As regards to players leaving I think this will happen very soon. I won't list them all as we know who will be moving on. All in all very upbeat and positive for the new season ahead. First 3 games are all tricky away from home so we could find ourselves playing catch up if we don't hit the ground running. Onwards and upwards.

I think they are buying players in positions of concern or which requires more quality and variation in styles. Some young talented players coming in building the future and they will take a little longer to adapt.
We all know left back is being sorted - no need to mention names as I think it may have been covered before! Lol
It has been said Gomez is staying so CB has cover.
My main concern, getting rid of enough players - on the side of finding interested clubs and no selling at flash sale prices. FFP in mind.
Rather optimistic about dealings so far and looking forward to seeing the team in action. I am not placing expectations on my team, and just want to enjoy watching them play this season.

Bring it on!
Absolutely loving the fact Klopp is completely re-shaping the team. Looks like the fans on here that are happy with this 8th place finish, worst squad we've had In years will be disappointed. In comes new players, excited now.

Nowhere close to being the worse squad, some of the hyperbole is really annoying. Yes the squad could have performed better and no it was not a successful season but that's just nonsense to suggest its the worse squad.

One more signing in chilwell and i will be content.

Supremely confident bordering on arrogance for next season. 😎.

I am not totally convinced by the signings we have made so far, however, i do believe that Klopp is the right man for us and as long as the new signings are being sanctioned by himself then i trust that they are the RIGHT players, if not the ones that would get the tongue wagging. I do not believe we will finish in the top4 this coming season, however, we will, in my opinion be far more competitive than in the last couple of seasons. I would personally like to see a more consistent striker upfront than Sturridge. His injury record does him no favours and as a result he lost that dynamism that he had a couple of yrs back. Like origi and ings but sturridge for me sums up liverpool last season - inconsistent. I am also of the opinion that liverpool, much like the England national team have no genuine world class player. It becomes increasingly difficult to compete against teams who do possess these players or teams that are hunting these players. It would be nice for Liverpool to have that one go to man, however, no european football is what is stopping us becoming a force again. Its going to take time. And maybe a little more swallowing of those bitter pills. But we will get it right. Klopp will get it right. That is a promise.

If I could convince Klopp/ LFC to do one thing only - it would be to fly to Australia and conduct a training session with my u10's side that I coach. These kids are a great bunch - keen and talented - I would love to see their faces if this happened. My son would cry I reckon (and me too)!

DBol, certainly not the worst squad we have had in a while.
But certainly the most bloated and unbalanced one.

I think that'll be sorted before season starts Indian buzzer, a few offloads coming.

In terms of my views on the squad.

Striker - happy with Sturridge, Origi, Ings and Firmino backup
AMs - happy with Coutinho, Firmino, Mane, Llalana, Milner, Markovic, Ojo
CMs - happy with Can, Hendo, and as much as I like Lucas, Stewart, Grujic I'm a little concerned if one or both first team choices get injured. not much experienced cover and not sure Lucas is as mobile as we need him to be on counterattacks
FB - happy with Chilwell (assuming we get him), Moreno, Clyne, Flanno
CB - happy with Matip, Lovren, Sakho, Gomez but would be concerned if we see injuries
GK - happy with Karius and Migs

In short, I'm very happy with the squad and think we have a very good shot at TOP 4 provided we get Chilwell as planned, and the only concerns I would have is cover if we have a long term injury to any of Can, Hendo, Matip, Lovren or Sakho.
