Which position do you guys think we need to reinforced the most? Personally CB is a priority follow by CDM. As rubbish as mignolet is, it's not that BIG of a issue. Ilori doesn't seem to be coming back. Gomez need more time. I think an experienced leader is needed.

Definitely one of those two positions you mentioned, CB or CDM.

Lucas is surprisingly dependable although you can't help but feel the teamsheet would look so much stronger with a world-class player at CDM, and Lucas is our only player that can genuinely play there. We can't have Hendo, Milner and Can playing at CM at the same time, not enough balance or quality I am afraid.

Lovren and Skertle are both liabilities, but I feel that Lovren is worth (another) go alongside Sahko despite them both being left-sided. He is a fairly young player and may do a lot better under Klopp and next to a capable CB like Sahko.

I am gunna say CDM, but that must be matched with the sale of Allen, and inevitably Milner being pushed out wide.

Utility defender and winger, Lucas is having a really good season so is fine as a DM, but we need a defender to cover all positions and we lack pace on the break so a speedy winger would be good.

A confident defence starts with the GK, we aren't going to get that with the current options. It is one of the most important positions on the field, if not the most important for me. A world class, confident, vocal (and preferably sweeping) GK would make more difference than a new CB.

The most urgent position in my view is that of an injury-free training techniques expert.

GK is imperative to organising the defence. The quicker we get a more assertive GK the better.

Whether Migs is moved on, used as back up or coached to be more assertive, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that our GK becomes assertive.

If you remember the old GK's they were all nutters. Never scared of anything, never phased by what obstacles are in the way when collecting a cross, and they certainly didn't take being bullied by strikers like they do today.

There are 2 specific GK's which are at fault for this transition of Goalkeeping on a world wide scale.

{Ed001's Note - care to name them?}

I would like to see a GK, CB, playmaker in that order. I also hope Klopp sticks to his word and utilises our talented youngsters. I would of course prefer to see the youngsters promoted if good enough. There cleary won't be much to spend in Janurary/ Summer etc. KlopP has shown he has an eye for talent on a budget. exciting times ahead YNWA.

GK and CB no doubt.

Iker Casillias and Victor Valdes.

Two hugely overrated keepers IMO.

Casillias and Valdes have been considered among the best, simply because they played for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

They both had promise, no doubt, but neither attained what they could have. Valdes for all his trophies, barely did anything to get them. Same with Casillias, although he is a reasonable shot stopper or was anyway. But because of the clubs they were at, people assumed they were good, so Iker and Victor got high praise and even when Valdes left, I remember people on here saying we should go in for him.

Anyway, my point is that because they were at the two biggest clubs in the world, people started trying to be like them, they started getting coached to play that way and eventually they developed the flaws that these guys have.

I may be over stating my opinion on them ruining gk's in the modern era, but they have contributed, just because of their reputation.

New Keeper for me. Migs is a half-decent keeper but if we want to challenge for the top 4 we need better than half-decent.

Don't let his recent shot stopping antics fool you, his distribution and defensive organisation simply aren't up to the mark.

Hopefully they start coaching players like neuer now then! If that's how it works. I don't quite get the point though, albeit I agree that IK and VV were overrated, I don't see how you can coach a player to play like them?

Well as an example, their style of GK is being taught and things such as their flaws are being ignored. Similar in the way that Germany have now started to produce good standard GK's since Neuer came about and how England used to produce them when the likes of Schmeichel were playing in the Prem.

I'm not saying it's solely their fault, even if that's how it came across. It's just their limelight has lead to sub par goal keepers being preferred because of their distribution and "sweeping", instead their catching, positioning and organising.

If there was ever a keeper which should have got the recognition, it should have been Gianluigi Buffon - what a keeper he was!

New keeper or explosive winger. The team needs pace and skill.

couldn't agree more HSF. Buffon is a class above the lot of them. Neuer is redefining the role now, distribution is very important in the modern keeper, although you may not necessarily disagree it is a very important fact that shouldn't be totally secondary in their training.
