adrian is a good number 2 but we need to keep Wilson and get an attacking midfielder in or we are going to struggle.

Going to struggle? We are the Champions of Europe! I’d like to see us get another attacking player but even if we don’t we’ll still be fine.

Origi is a decent replacement for Firmino through the centre but for me he is not a wide player. When he plays on the left or right it feels like another case of a square peg in a round hole.

Brewster, origi, Shaq, ox are cover for the front 3,and Shaq and ox can cover in midfield too.

{Ed025's Note - which is why we are all saying the cover is weak gmil..

I don't understand how we'd struggle, we got 97 points and won the champions league last season, we've lost a LB and a ST who hardly featured. We've added Ox who didn't kick a ball last season and Brewster.

So already we're in a better position squad wise than we were last season, add to that players like Fab and Naby, Allison settling in. The world class players reaching peak age, Mane Salah Allison, Virg. The squad is more settled and understand the system more.

I'd love to add an AM/ LW and LB but I don't get the meltdown.

We don't need to keep Wilson, I couldn't see him even making the bench for most games unless there are several big injuries.

{Ed025's Note - i agree taa,

I disagree about Wilson. I know he may not be seen as good enough and not a Klopp type player, but what a great option from the bench if things aren't working.

He's all about being able to score from range and in some games when teams are parking the bus, that's exactly what's needed.

OP, so we would struggle if Wilson got sold? Are you serious? Have you seen him play? You don't even know he is on the field until he has the ball. I watched the Lyon game and I did not even know he was playing half the time. Harvey Elliott (6 yrs his junior) came on and wanted the ball almost every second and worked hard to get on it. Wilson did none of that and the goal he scored will never paper over what I saw.

Wilson is not good enuff and that is why he is getting sold, end of story. OP, you may think he is good enuff and that is your opinion BUT those that have seen him play and train countless times disagree with you.

{Ed025's Note - i hate to say this redwolf but i agree with you again, he is not good enough to be in this liverpool squad and everyone at the club know it and thats why they want shut....we have to stop all this agreeing malarkey mate.. :)

I would have liked a replacement for Mane just in case as I believe that is our weakness in the squad. This pre season we have tried Kent Wilson Gini Ox and Origi there and none have given us the balance Sadio gives us. I would still have a cheeky bid for Ryan Fraser of Bournmouth.

I get what you're saying Ed 025 but we have ox, lalana Brewster and Gomez who weren't available last season and who could we bring in of quality for cover for the front 3 that will know and except playing second fiddle to them.

{Ed025's Note - i never said it would be easy gmil as your front three are excellent, but if one of them gets a long term injury then who replaces him?...brewster is a kid and could be anything, origi is a cameo player and thats all he will ever be...then you are snookered mate..

Ed25 IMO, I think we agree on a lot more than we disagree based on our muscular yet honest exchanges. As you know, I am not all "Everything LFC is great". I can be fair and balanced in my analysis of things even tho where you are concerned, you seem to be able bring out the "RED" in me. Top notch banter, as always, man.

{Ed025's Note - its all about respecting the other persons point of view redwolf, i have been known to throw the odd grenade to create a bit of debate but i must say most of the posters on these pages are good sports, and while we dont always agree its a good craic and very enjoyable mate..

ed025 I think for fa cup and carabao cup and even against some of the weaker sides at home Wilson will be good enough. And just bulks the squad out a bit I don't think there is that much between him and Origi and he did ok for us last season. I would of rather sold both and signed 1 player that was step up from both of them but it is what it is we need to sell before we can add anymore to are squad. I think Kent is miles away but I do think if most of the first team are in Wilson will be ok. I do think the raving about how much better city squad is than are squad is very far of the mark don't think Mahrez is any better than Shaqiri, I know they have Sanebut he should start its just he needs to get Bernardo Silva into the team. we will have to see how good Brewster is but I am not a massive Jesus being an atheist. I know there midfield is stronger than ours but are defence is miles a head of there's Stones and Otamendi are awful defenders. so its a bit 50/ 50 for me.

{Ed025's Note - to be honest i think mahrez is miles better than shaq grino, but the rest of it is hard to argue with mate..

Here's hoping your prediction for the season is the same as last seasons with fabinho Ed25. 😉.

{Ed025's Note - i dont get it right all the time KK...only 99.999999 of it mate..
