Well, I for one am happy.
Last season we moaned about a lack of goals from midfield and a lack of width at times (both sorted)
We moaned about leadership at the back between goalkeepers and centre backs (also sorted)
We moaned about not having enough quality to bring off the bench (sorted too now)
And most of all in my eyes anyway the whole feel of the Rodgers squad had just gone a bit stale at times, it was obvious a lot of players showed glimpses or were good to put a shift in but win a league? Naah not for me, I think we're lucky to have a forward thinking manager who knows what he wants, I welcome all the new signings as I think each and every one give us something we didn't have last year and I think its exciting that Klopps thought right let's weed out who can't do the job and let's get in who fits the puzzle.
He was always going to assemble his own squad so let's have less bickering about it and more support, if this lot turn out winners then i'm sure the groans will subside, we can't sit back forever waiting for this lot to do a Leicester city otherwise theyd have done it for Rodgers
Bring em all on, i like the signings and they all get my support!
Now whose playing left back? .

Lack of goals from midfield wasn't my complaint and still isn't, it's that we're as soft as sh*t through the middle and teams see us as a soft touch, that's still not been addressed and it will cause us problems again this year.

For me I would play klavan looks like a no nonsense defender, who has a ton of experience.

Hendo, Can, Grujic, what a bunch of weak softies.

Problem is with Lucas, Hendo and Can in midfield you get zero goals. With Wijnaldum and Grujic if they get 5-10 each we are up on goals from last season. The lack of goals puts us under undue pressure as when we're on top of teams we start to panic and lose our formation trying to break through.

I'd also try to coach Can as a DM. He's quick, strong and a good defender, perfect for the role if he can get his positioning right. He can also pick a pass.

I have a sneaky feeling Hendo will leave this window or next and possibly Couts aswell which suddenly makes these signings make sense. I also don't understand the confusion about the Klavan signing. We've lost Toure and Skrtel and replaced them with Klavan and Matip. A huge improvement in my book.

I wouldn't feel comfortable if our only back ups were a teenager whose never played at centre back in the PL and Ilori who is obviously not good enough. You can't leave yourself one long term injury away from having an inexperienced youth player in one of the most important positions on the pitch.
