WE need a stronger team for next season. Something have to give, it is going to be pains for some players to be shown the door. My first on the list of "OUT" is Moreno It is going to be sad to see Lucas leaving, no sentiment if it is for the good of the club. Missed feeling for Sturridge. Who can guarantee that he is going to play at least 70 per cent of the games in 2017/2018. We need to improve and players of qualities are needed in the champion league. List of our first team: GOALKEEPERS 1. LorisKarius 13 AlexManninger 22 SimonMignolet 34 AdamBogdan DEFENDERS 2 NathanielClyne 6 DejanLovren 12 JoeGomez 17 RagnarKlavan 18 AlbertoMoreno 32 JoelMatip 56 ConnorRandall 66 TrentAlexanderArnold MIDFIELDERS 5 GeorginioWijnaldum 7 JamesMilner 10 PhilippeCoutinho 14 JordanHenderson 16 MarkoGrujic 20 AdamLallana 21 LucasLeiva 23 EmreCan 35 KevinStewart 53 OvieEjaria 54 SheyiOjo FORWARDS 11 RobertoFirmino 15 DanielSturridge 19 SadioMané 27 DivockOrigi 28 DannyIngs 58 BenWoodburn
Quick list - Moreno Sakho Lucas Lovren Markovic With the exception of Lucas and Lovren, the rest were hardly used so won't be missed (even though Sakho would be a great option at CB). Lovren simply has to go - it will go under the radar but this tosser almost cost us AGAIN yesterday. Unreliable and still one of the worst defenders ever. Keep Sturridge if we can afford to and he has to be content with being a back up or even 3rd choice.
edited to remove links. This is knind of easy 1. who is out of contract? Alex Manninger Adam Bogdan Lucas Leiva 2. Who is a complete pony? Alberto Moreno Connor Randall Kevin Stewart 3. who's too young to worry about? Ovie Ejaria Sheyi Ojo 4. who's a total crock? Daniel Sturridge Danny Ings 5. who is a cock? Mama Sahko. There's 11 players who have when you look over the names... really... only 2 have had any impact on season. Lucas and sturrdige. In fact its prob easier write a squad for who is important going frward Gk: Mingolet and karius. Rb; Clyne and Taa LB: RCB: Matip, Lovren LCB... No 6: ? henderson? No 8: lallana wijnaldum, can, coutinho? milner? LF: St: Firmino, origi RF: Mane Its clear there is huge work to be done there long term LB, LCB, no 6, LF and St needed just to make a first 11 up
Anyone trying to sell Lovren hates the club The biggest problem this season was an unsettled defence, so the plan is to sell our most experienced CB, presumably along with Sakho and Klavan Just buy one great CB and Lovren becomes one of the best 3rd choice CBs in the league
In fairness taking on Matip with a known busted ankle wasn't great but the guy is good when he is fit. we need that ankle issue addressed. we need to be ready if/when it reoccurs with a good reserve for him.

We should mention Emre Can here as well. Either he signs a new deal or he goes. Unlike everton we don't need ultimatums to players.

Let's hope Can signs a new deal - kid is clearly talented and one of the few who dragged us over the line in the end. Really stood up to the challenge.
Think saint said it before but we need to add before we sell (unless we're reliant on sales to fund transfers).
