Out of the 3 other top 4 sides. which players would you take and who would you replace in our squad? 1 from each.
27 Mar 2024 10:58:29
Get rid of Trent and I'd take Rice.
27 Mar 2024 11:25:18
If I could pick one from each club, it’d be Saliba from Arsenal, Rodri from City and Douglas Luis from Villa (if Spurs were to win their game in hand and leapfrog Villa I’d go for Son, despite his age) .
27 Mar 2024 11:28:10
Saliba, rice and one of doku / saka / foden.
With konate, Diaz and potentially endo (for rice would mainly be an age factor or slighttt edge on him), but would say endo is a tight call really. KDB is also one that only age / injuries this season wouldn’t be one - even then debatable as when on form and fit is the best midfielder in the league.

If Salah is leaving, I would take Phil Foden from ManCity. I would take Martinelli from Arsenal to replace Diaz. And again, if Salah is leaving, I would take Bowen from Aston Villa to replace him, or Douglas Luiz to replace Thiago (it's a bit cheating since Thiago is leaving anyway) .
{Ed025's Note - i think Bowen plays for West Ham ArAy..

MightyMosive - Doku? I don’t understand that one.
Arsenal - Rice or Saka (Saka is great but wouldn’t start for us while Salah is around)
Man City - De Bruyne (Rodri is useful but KDB is by far City’s best player)
Spurs - Son
Aston Villa - Probably none (Watkins is good and makes Villa a MUCH better team, but we’ve got great attackers already)

Thanks Ed025, for the public embarrassment, LOL. Further proof that I don't pay any attention to the other teams in the EPL. ?.
{Ed025's Note - to be fair ArAy they both play in claret and blue mate, just dont be linking any Burnley players next.. :)

Lowe- tbh like the look of him and is young so with right coaching looks like he has a lot of potentially.
Added his pace and with Diaz, love him, but at times can be incredibly frustrating with trying too much or taking too many touches. Other than that was thinking more of natural positions and foden / saka both play right and salah is levels above both.
27 Mar 2024 16:48:44
if mo Salah leaves in the summer then Bowen would be on the sshortlist.
27 Mar 2024 17:28:59
@Kop That - Bowen is a good player but he is 28 this year so can’t see us going for him. It would be good to go for someone younger who is good but with plenty of room to improve further.
27 Mar 2024 17:55:43
Declan Rice
Phil Foden
Van De Ven
Saka.
27 Mar 2024 18:04:22
This has turned into some kind of joke post ?.
27 Mar 2024 19:15:34
Most the replies seem to fail the OP’s actual question, with some listing 2-3 players from Arsenal etc and some even choosing players from outside the top 4 ?
Wdw, do Liverpool really need another 2 CM’s in Rodri and Douglas luiz?
28 Mar 2024 08:32:46
Rice
Kdb
Van der ven
Luiz.

@Fuser, probably not mate, but . I was treating it more as a ‘what if’ rather than looking at specific positions for the current squad.
@Lowel, KDB was a brilliant midfielder with the emphasis on attack, not quite the player he was as his hamstrings seem to have reached their sell by date and his game time seems to be something that Pep is taking more seriously. Rodri, on the other hand, still provides the City defence with a shield - great footballer in my opinion and still (just about) at his peak. City’s wobble earlier this season occurred when he wasn’t playing. A bit like Arsenal imploding at the end of last season when their defence relied on Saliba who had the injury that coincided with them blowing up in the title race.
