Hello Eds just wondering you opinion on the strength of the team after the signings so far? Is there any postions you think the club should still improve? I know left back is an issue but chilwell is pretty nailed on, hopefully he can be good enough. Do you think Matip and Karius will fix things at the back? Our defence of set pieces is beyond shambolic.

{Ed001's Note - apart from left back, I am happy with the squad for next season, it is more about getting rid of some and creating space to improve now.}

Cheers Ed I agree with you the squad is way too big don't know how any youngsters can expect a chance unless we have another injury crisis.

I replied to completely the wrong post above eds sorry, I meant to write on this one with a post along the lines of - ed001, if Sakho were to get a lengthy ban given the likely departures of Skrtel/ Ilori would your opinion change or are you happy with Gomez, Lovren, Matip and Lucas (if he were to stay) as our options?

{Ed001's Note - I would just think that is the next area to strengthen when we offload a few.}

Left back the main one, still lacking in midfield which will be evevident soon as we play someone half decent.

Left back main problem. I'm glad we've began to improve though because that last squad wasn't good enough.
I think we'll get 2/ 3 decent signings in. Teams around us will only get better. Need to improve A LOT.

Lb and cm.

Coric would be a luxury or insurance for when/ if coutinho leaves.

We definatly need another cm and crucially as lb.

Allen, Milner just won't do there and with hendersons injury history last year we need to protect him and ourselves and not have to rely on him for what could be 45/ 50 games next year if we get to finals.

Zielinksi/ dahoud and chilwell, don't want hector myself now watching him a few times, can see him just getting eaten up in the prwm, we should of gone for guerr his delievery is scary.

Left-back. Midfield is a tricky one. Henderson is a must start in my opinion but who to play with him is tricky. Lucas is clearly a squad player now (and a very good one) if he stays. Grujic will get games as ed's have suggested but this is a big step up for him. Emre Can worries me the most, has good moments but many poor ones too - I'm not sure he is either disciplined enough or intelligent enough to be a starter, I was unimpressed by him last season. If we had European football I'd say maybe buy another cm but, as it is its probably unnecessary this season.

Spot on, Ed. We shoul;d have a balanced, homogenous squad and thanks to Klopp, we are getting there.
