I admit I don't visit other teams' banter sites but I am willing to bet that LFC is the only site full of fans keep on saying we don't need new players and bag the owners to stop spending money. Given the awful season we just had you would expect the fans to demand we replace most of our squad.

I know people here love to think we have an amazing squad and just a bad manager. The true is we have an average squad and a poor manager. And if BR would have gone and Klopp would have been in he would demand to bring at least 5-6 new players and some expensive signings.

It is ok to say Benteke is suitable or not suitable to us but if people think that the players who brought us to 6th place last year will get us into the top 4 just because a year has passed is living in a dream. Look what an amazing team Chelsea has and they still try to bring more players this summer - I am sure none of their fans complain.

How many more players would you like to be signed? For me it is just a top striker.

I would only look for Medel/Kovavic (one of!) if Allen was sold. I would be willing to sell Balotelli, Borini, Lambert and Skrtel without bringing anyone else in then.

14 Jul 2015 21:17:45
Fanobip but the important thing is to buy players to improve out starting 11 like Chelsea or Arsenal etc.
We have spent so much money and not improved our weaknesses (GK and Striker to name but 2).
This summer seems better but we still have Migs and no top striker though it's early days.
Milner, Clyne, Firminho and zings I think are great buys so far.

14 Jul 2015 21:21:42
please elaborate, who is average? I know we have some players who aren´t great, but saying that the entire squad is average shows how much you know about football. Last season we underperformed big time, and most of the credit goes to Brendan, due to poor tactics and playing players out of position.

14 Jul 2015 21:31:12
Most of the same players that got us to 6th also got us to 2nd. so if you're going to say Suarez literally was the only difference then by that same logic we only need one signing (a striker) to be back challenging for the title? Your whole argument makes little sense

14 Jul 2015 21:34:29
Sure we signed Bogdan to replace Jones and have already added Ings and Origi to the strike force with an impending addition of Benteke as well.

We needed two things; a right back and a striker.

Selling Mingolet and replacing him with a better keeper was always going to be a luxury signing. In the second half of last season he saved us more points than he cost us. If he maintains that form and continues to work on his distribution thenI see no reason to replace him whilst we have FFP issues.

I still think Skrtel and Moreno need to improve as they were at fault for a lot of goals last season, but fingers crossed the new coaching set up ups their game. With Ilori and Gomez being promised game time Skrtel may not see as much minutes as in previous seasons anyway and Maguire looks like a talented lad as well.

I fail to see how we have not adressed our weaknesses. We needed more goals and assists in midfield (Milner and Firmino), goal scorers (Ings, Origi, Benteke) and a right back (Clyne, Wisdom). Arguably a new centre back (Ilori, Gomez) and competition for Mingolet (Bogdan). We're not a Champions league team. A decent goalkeeper isn't going to happily sit on our bench so get that idea out of your heads.

14 Jul 2015 21:39:12
Whatever the reason, we underperformed last year, and we have every right to turn that around. We have made some intelligent off-season moves, including a substantial profit on a want-away player that's already been replaced with a class player.

Rodgers has many faults, but I do see him trying to learn from his mistakes, and I don't think its too late for him (or for us). Are we as good on paper as Chelsea/City/Arsenal/United? Many would make the case we aren't including the OP.

The reality of the situation, however, is that we can't afford to just keep buying players, success or no success. Replacing the squad every year is a guarantee of failure, actually. Adding important pieces (Milner, Firmino, Clyne for example) and youth who can play now (Gomez, Ings) as well as giving players a (expletive) chance in the side is far more important than buying a bloody striker or recruiting Klopp and his new expensive signings.

14 Jul 2015 21:41:26
We need a world class midfielder and till then we would be dominated in the middle. Henderson will have to do all alone himself.

14 Jul 2015 21:54:27
As for saying a decent keeper would not sit on the bench, Chelsea just signed Begovic. I'm sure he is not going to be first choice keeper

14 Jul 2015 22:00:19
European glory, name me a better midfield 3 in the league than Henderson, Milner and Lucas?

Possibly Coquelin, Cazorla and Ramsey.

Possibly Carrick, Schneiderlin and Herrera.

Possibly Matic, Fabregas and Oscar.

City, Everton, Southampton and Spurs certainly can't field a midfield as strong as that. Ours is at least the 4th best midfield in the league but I'd argue it's second only to the Arsenal trio.

Henderson blatantly won't be doing everything on his own. Let Kovacic go. If we wanted him that badly, we'd have matched their price tag. Like we gazumped everyone for Firimino. Clearly we don't value Kovacic as highly as Inter do. He's another luxury signing.

14 Jul 2015 22:00:46
Can't see too many premier league midfields dominating Lucas/Can, Milner and Hendo. Maybe Chelsea's midfield is better but that's about it.

14 Jul 2015 22:04:23
Chelsea are a champions league team who pay ridiculous wages and can afford to do so.

We're a Europa League team who is under FFP investigation. Stop comparing our situation to that of Chelsea. It's sad.

14 Jul 2015 22:19:47
Your a funny one EMS, I actually think u might not be joking either.

Hendo,Lucas and Milner ain't even up there with mason and benteleb imo.

14 Jul 2015 22:41:51
klopp would probably come and buy 2 or 3 expensive signing filling the gaps rather than 5 6 as u said. our squad is far better than you think it is.

hell klopp is not even our manager why talk about him.

14 Jul 2015 23:25:58
Mane tadic wanyama-southampton

Lamela Chadli Eriksen(throw in mason if you wish)-Spurs

Arsenal have as options-cazorla,wilshere,coquelin,flamini,ramsey,Ox ,Ozil,Arteta,roschiky.

15 Jul 2015 00:20:26
@CTR, Mason is a very poor mans Milner and Bentaleb is a poor man's Can. Neither would get in our team, no chance.

15 Jul 2015 00:54:55
Bobatron, you are comparing thier attaking midfielders, which is not ems question. You should compare those players with
Firmino Ibe/lallana and Coutiniho (you can add markovic)

15 Jul 2015 03:12:10
Bobatron
You are comparing their attacking midfielders which is not what ems is asking. You should compare
Firmino lallana/ibe and coutiniho ( u can add markovic)

15 Jul 2015 03:20:31
EMS

You have stated three above us and I would put city above us when they finish buying that's 4 above us and exactly where we finished last season.

15 Jul 2015 05:15:57
Mane is a striker and Tadic, Chadli and Lamela are wingers.

{Ed001's Note - Mane played wide and as a second striker EMS, he can certainly play on the wing and often does so.}

15 Jul 2015 05:56:53
If you're including those players bobatron then you have to include coutinho firmino lalanna markovic and ibe in Liverpool's midfield which does only add quality.

Teddy the question was

European glory, name me a better midfield 3 in the league than Henderson, Milner and Lucas?

They all play in the centre of the park. Not every single one of them is an attacking midefielder. and regardless take a look at what's in the sentence ''Attacking midfield'' that's right the word ''MIDFIELD''

15 Jul 2015 09:04:27
False number 9 has number 9 in it doesn't mean there's any use comparing jonjo shelvey with Andy Carroll?

15 Jul 2015 09:20:34
Do they play in the middle of the field? Yeah they do. Therefor midfield. Do we eliminate hendo because he plays ''box to box'' then?

15 Jul 2015 09:24:48
I mean are we just bending all the rules here as to what midfield is to suit an argument? Why are we including lucas who sits so deep?

The boys I listed are all listed as midfield players at their club,regardless of whether it's attacking,defensive,or wide. they play midfield. That's what was asked. that's what was delivered by me.

Milner is also a wide player. so there can't be any argument about wingers here either.

mane and tadic striker?!?!?!?
