The final few bits of business are now;

Van den Berg to be sold or loaned (decent but too slow)
Phillips to be sold

The squad will look a little trim this season imo.

3 gk
2 rb
2 lb
4 cbs
8 cms, 7 are no 8s.
6 forwards.

Not much bar what we have seen in the academy. Bajcetic, mabaye, quansah, Gordon.

There's not going to be great cup runs coming imo, we are 1 cm short as we cannot shift ox imo and imo carvalho isn't quite ready so we are probably 1 forward down too.

We need to focus on the prem and cl again.
 
Klopp has his 4.

Clearly he's never picking Phillips when he tried every ****ing midfielder before the lad.

Phillips proved him wrong thankfully and when he got his go he didn't disgrace himself by any means
I like the lad from what i have seen of him, i believe he will be a star for some team.

Star might be a bit much but he could be a decent bargain and mainstay of someone's team for years 10mil is nothing for that.

The problem is having to play a deep line so there's only a few clubs to go for.

Why do you think Carvalho isn’t ready? Has looked good pre season and played whole season in champ last year

He’s a good lower prem upper champ defender. Solid type like a Ben mee, tarkowski type defender. In a team that’ll sit back and he doesn’t have to worry about space behind him he’ll be fine.

Tbh, he reminds me of a few players we've had that as as likely drift through games as grab them and drive them.

I think we need to be patient with him in his development from championship to champions league.

I think we have a very big talent but one that needs time an patience in carvalho.

I think we are one player short of the same challenge we mounted last year in each of midfield and attack.

We just need to keep working with the young talents and bring them up to that level.

It's a good squad to do so, but a few injuries and the usual comments will start up I think.

Ox, Ramsay, Jones, keita, jota are out for day 1. Only jota missing preseason is a big loss for us.

Thing is, klopp obviously thinks Elliott and carvahlo are going to be first teamers in a year or so. Doesn’t want to buy another player for now and stunt their development. Similarly, Jones has said himself he needs to now push on.

can’t moan we don’t have numbers.
Hendo fab thiago Keita Milner ox Jones Elliott. 8 players for 3 positions is more than enough. Get anymore than that and you suddenly stop a pathway for those 2 young players t develop.

similar with front line. Salah Nunez diaz firmino Jota Carvalho. 6 players for 3 positions. Only issue is maybe no cover on Salah on that side, but can’t change too much in 1 window and don’t want to buy more to stunt carvahlo development.

yup, its [HASHTAG]#moneyball[/HASHTAG] so that why i think we have to be all in to the cl and prem only this season.

the difference to last season is as crap as they may be origi and minamino were senior players or some age and experience so when yuong players come in they just rarely give the same level of knowing where to be. IM we will be relying on very few knocks this season.

the great thing is 5 subs everywhere gives us great options.
