1 CB would leave us with Matip, New CB, Lovren OR Klavan and Gomez
1 #6 would be the orchestrator - we have enough midfielders now. We just need better ones
Robertson? Are you tripping?
1 centre forward - we have Solanke, Origi and Ings if you don't like Sturridge
1 AM - Agreed, if Coutinho leaves
1 GK - Nope
Lol, we are a good side but the team is nowhere near good enough to win a league title, so my post refers to what I think we are missing in that context, I think anyone who just thinks we need a few tweaks is crackers-
We’ve had the exact same flaws in that we’ve had the weakest spine out of any of the teams who want to contend, and we’ve been consistent at dropping points against weaker sides which points both to a lack of quality (to make a difference) and mental strength.
Matip is a good player but injury prone and backs down when he’s got a physical opponent , Klavan and Lovren are just not good enough - so yes we do need 2 new centre backs with Matip and Gomez to make up our four.
Robertson is decent but hes definitely upgradable (he’s not going to win us a crucial game or make a major difference over a season)
#6 - Can is leaving, not Henderson’s natural position
Mignolet is much improved but still not at the level of the best keepers
Sturridge is injury prone, not the same player and doesn’t always work hard enough for the system
If Coutinho is sold we will need to replace his creativity and leadership
It may seem harsh but I honestly don’t see us winning a title without much better players- so we will not win a league title for a long time in my opinion as the resources aren’t there- in reality we will add a few good players but we will be a few steps behind because we have so many weaknesses and over the course of a season we get exposed, just look at our history over the last 10-15 years- ultimately we always lose out due to 3 things:
Depth of squad
Quality of players
Mental strength
