Of the current squad and their performances this season (including pre-season) I personally would like to see the following phased out of the squad or team in the next couple of windows:
Mignolet, Lovren, Klavan, Moreno (unless he becomes a back up LW), Henderson, Milner and Markovic.
Lallana will be on his way too being that he is 30 soon.
All the rest can improve I believe or have potential to get much better as they have shown it in the past.
Matip being one, he was excellent at times last season but he has gone backwards this season so far. I feel we need to be a little patient with him and once he gets a good partner, he could be an excellent CB, especially if he can fix his positional sense and beef up a bit as he gets bullied around a bit too much for a 6 foot 5 inch defender.
Anyone want to add to that?

I agree with the list but we ll struggle to offload most of them. High wages and no takers!

Superred just the other day said Hendersons world class or close to it. Seriously tho, I think you should get what you can for Sturridge while you still can, and but a top number 9. Lewandowski could be on the move soon. Would be a good signing for you.

Lallana and Henderson are very good players, such knee jerk reactions to one or two results, support the players we have now, it bores me when fans live thinking about what we could or couldn't have, chill out stop worrying about nothing you can influence.

I agree with them except Hendo and moreno. I think moreno's attacking qualities are good to have at the club. He is left footed too. I'm not saying he should be our left back full stop but he is a good option from the bench when we need a goal and perhaps a real leader back there could keep him in check. He is a decent player and there are tonnes of worse lbs in the premiership.

Hendo, no way for me. I like him and I don't think he was the problem last night. In fact he was pretty good imo. People are acting like we lost last night. These are the elite clubs we are playing now and seville are the best team in the group bar us. The fact we were inches away from blowing them away should stop people saying klopps tactics were wrong.

For me though I would scrap our cbs next summer with the exception of gomes (who was piss poor last night) he is young and will become very good imo. I've said it before, mat hummels and van djike would be awesome and I think possible to pull off. Lallana is as good as his lon as his legs will last. As he ages his decision making gets better and so does his vision.

We'd definitely have takers for Lovren/ Henderson/ Lallana/ Mignolet/ Moreno. Milner's contract is up at the end of this season. Klavan - pay him to leave if no takers maybe.
Henderson is world class at sideways passes and playing in first/ second gear maybe lol. Certainly not world class at being a leader or at sitting where he should and offering protection to a leaky defence. He was never world class or even close to it, not even when he played his best football a couple of seasons back.
I think Liverpool need a Hyypia/ Gerrard type of situation, where the captaincy changes hands to someone who can actually drive the team on. Not saying Hyypia was a poor captain, I loved the guy. Only problem is we have no real leaders in that squad. So we need to get one or two in.

Stand-united I'm assuming you've never watched Firmino play upfront. If you did you would know there's no need for a so called 'top striker'. Still, I would take Lewa in a heartbeat.

Henderson simply runs around a lot. Extreamly limited and has no end product. He is one of the reason we rely on Matip to bring the ball or from the black.
1.No composure in possession
2.Not enough tactical awareness
3.Not enough play-making ability
4.Can't convincingly collect the ball from the CB's to start play
5.Doesn't make himself available enough once he passes the ball, a regista (No.6) would pass receive pass receive while all the time knowing where his third pass is going to be. Hendo concentrates on one pass at a time because he is naturally not a creative player
6.To slow in turning with the ball. Instead of knowing where the opponent is and knowing what side they are pressing him from so he can turn into space without touching the ball, Hendo has to always touch the ball to turn which slows down the possession and limits the options ahead of him.

I don't know what some posters see in him. But then everyone has their opinion. I just had mine though!

Dilakh2,

Have watched him many time. Think he's a cracking player. But I still think you need a top class out and out 9 as well as him.

Lallana is a decent player, never said he wasn't - I pointed out the fact that he's nearly 30 so he won't be with us for too much longer.
I also DID say Moreno could serve well as a decent LW backup or rotational option (from time to time) .
Henderson is not a great player. He's just not, I'm sorry. Would he make it into United's team? Would he make it into Tottenham's? Man City's? These are the title contenders this season.
If you think he can lead us to a league title, then you're crazy. The only good thing about him at the moment is that he is English so a Home Grown player. He offers us very little as he is being currently used. His best asset has been taken away - his work rate. He was a B2B midfielder, now I don't even know what he is and by looking at him I don't think he does either. It's not a knee-jerk reaction. He has been poor for a couple of seasons.
Please tell me the last time the captain pulled us out of trouble with a match saving performance? When did he last dominate a match where he looked like he belonged as LFC captain? Good luck with both.

Yes stand he is a good olayer but your right he is not a centre forward.

Stand, NO striker can do what Firmino does. None at least in the PL. The only one who can do that is Lewandowski and that is cos he is Klopp's creation. If you put in a Harry Kane in our system, he may score goals BUT does not bring the other ingredients Firmino does that Klopp loves. He is the most complete attacking player in the PL, period. There is a reason our forward line is arguably top 5 in Europe. Firmino is the lynch pin, the glue that keeps it together. W/ O Firmino, there is NO Salah nor Mane as he is unselfish and does not care who scores or not. We'll gladly keep him, thank you.

Klopps creation? Cringe. You sound like he's the doctor from human centipede or something.
