Hi Ed's. Hope you all well and enjoying the summer!
You have mentioned the issue of a lack of HG players ( Lallana and Clyne leaving ) . Is this is a major problem for LFC, meaning that we would actively be looking to buy HG players?
I see teams like Wolves, who seem to have very little HG players so wonder wether other clubs are in a similar position.
{Ed002's Note - All Premier Leage clubs have to meet the same Home Grown rules. The senior (over 21) squad cannot contain more than 17 non Home Grown players.}

With no players coming in and no players being sold; we could have a squad of:
Alisson, Adrian, Kelleher
TAA, Williams, Gomez, VVD, Robertson, Matip, Lovren
Jones, Grujic, Fabinho, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain
Brewster, Minamino, Origi, Shaqiri, Salah, Firmino, Mane.
I've taken Kelleher, TAA, Williams, Gomez, Jones, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Brewster as the home grown players. I may be mistaken.

That defence is thin.

The defense is extremely thin and the forward options excluding our front 3 are either very average (Shaq, Origi) or inexperienced (Brewster) .

It's not as thin as you think. I didn't put Hoever and Van den Berg into the equation because they can play from the U-23 side when needed and the question was "home-grown status" related. Nat Philips is also not listed (if we decide to keep him) .
