A bit early to say we are that much better than last season considering we have virtually the same first team apart from Salah.
An injury or two say Hendo and Can in midfield and we are looking at Milner, Grujic or Woodburn.
In Defence we know Matip and Lovren are pretty injury prone and again we are down to Klavan and Gomez, no more relying on Lucas to fill in.
Oh I don't know, I think we are starting to hit our stride, and then we'll see just how much the players are able to implement Klopps systems, which they are more familiar with after another full pre-season.
The younger players are a year older, with all the benefits that brings, not least of which is the coaching and training with the first team squad.
Salah and Robertson definitely improve the team, and Solanke may surprise a few people.
Every team faces the same dilemma when injuries occur, and every team is light when it comes to direct replacements in defense.
I wish we'd done more, but it's hardly a disaster, rather it's up to Klopp to manage his squad, and know when to rest players. to prevent injuries.
We have, what? 3 first team players out at the moment, and we still look pretty good imo.
I'll leave the doom and gloom to others, and go into this season the same way I have done for over 50 years, which is supporting the team and being optimistic.
