Our biggest problem is with all the money Rodgers has spent (200 mil plus) who has actually improved the team.

Sturridge
Coutinho
Sakho
Can

That's it IMO

Agreed lavers, that's our biggest issue. All very well buying players fir the futures but we lost our best first team player and replaced with squad players.

If you look at the new recruits during BR's time I think only Sturridge has improved the team. Minulet has done OK, but is he that much better than Pepe (cheaper maybe). Can looks like he will be one for the future and Markovic shows some promise. Lallana has obvious quality, but I have never seen the point in buying another player to link midfield and attack when cellar there were other far more pressing priorities.

For me, of our current squad, only Minulet, Flanno, Skrtl, Lucas, Henderson, Can Sterling and Sturrdige are good enough to be regular first team starters. You can add Cutinho to that, but I would play Sterling behind the front two.

Lovren, Sakho and Moreno are not good enough to play in a back four. Ilori? Who knows.

In midfield, I don't think Lallana was the type of player required. Especially not with Markovic also acquired at the same time. Alberto?

Up front, surely one good striker instead of Lambert, Balotelli, Borini, and Aspas?

Next season.

Minulet
Flan, Skrtl, X, X
Lucas
Henderson, Can
Sterling
Sturridge, X


X, X
Wisdom, X, Sakho, X

Allen, X
Cutiniho, Markovic
Origi, Ings, Ibe

25 man squad.

It means 3 new first teamers and 5 new squad players. Which equals another season of upheaval.

And it means trying to offload 15 current players:
Jones, Johnson, Manquillo, Toure, Lovren, Coates, Ilori, Enrique, Moreno, Alberto, Lallana, Lambert, Borini, Balloteli, Aspsa.

I know Lallana is a bit harsh, but we will need the cash and we can spare his position.
