Hey Eds, been a long time since last posted but thought of something there. We had our worst spell in the league when Mane was gone to the AFCON and now we have signed Salah I realised that will be going to it as well so do you think that we need to sign another person who can play on the wing as both of them will be gone?
Cheers in advance.

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't happen every year and Liverpool can't add players just to provide cover for a few weeks in early 2019.}

Who will cover for them if one gets injured ed? City Have Sane, Sterling and B. Silva, Chelsea have Hazard, Pedro, and Willian. United have Mkhitaryan, Martial, Lingard. You need Quality players to push each other for places look how it worked for Mignolet and we need depth and players who can give Mane and Salah a rest when needed especially now with us having to play more games next season with europe and I expect us to have a good cup run as Klopp will be desperate to win a trophy. I would like to see Ojo step up but I don't see that happening.

{Ed002's Note - Coutinho, Firmino, Milner, Ojo (if he stays). The club has quality young players but so many of you are so obsessed with replacing them.}

As well as what ed has said. we already have other players. Mane went all the way to the final. Unlikely both will next time. We had other injuries. Were very reliant on playing one way. I think klopp changed that towards the end of the season. Hopefully in 2 years he will have developed us even more and finally let's face it's modern day football. If they are outstanding they could be at Barcelona or Madrid by then, or if not brilliant could be shipped out too.

Why not just play without wingers for the 4 weeks every two years that the AFCON is on?

If we can't cope with 2/ 3 players being away for a few weeks every couple of years then we have massive problems that cannot be solved by buying more players.

Did you just put lingard in as a quality option?

As ed said we have options should someone get injured - couts can slot back in there, we have lallana who can play there, wiji can play there. Not to mention the like of ojo and Wilson who could be given opportunities.

What about if Mane and Salah stay injury free, what does our new winger signing do then? Hardly a tempting move for someone to know you're 3rd choice pending injuries and a 3 week tournament that happens every 2 years.

FFS.

Oh sorry Ed, thought AFCON was on every year. My bad.

{Ed002's Note - No, a couple of years ago they switched from even to odd so that was the time.}

Hahaha, this question again. I really really hope we sign Keita, Koulibaly and Ghoulam just to watch people freaking out and blowing their tops when they realize what will happen in January 2019.

But seriously. Hopefully Wilson, Ojo and Woodburn will be ready to step up by then and help us not lose the plot when our 2 speedsters head to the AFCON.

So we sign an African player but that's not good enough. whenever a team signs an African player they need to sign another player in his position but from a totally different continent to cover him every 2 years for 4 weeks max. absolute rubbish. Sick of hearing the same stupid question being asked.
