Well, i am always optimistic and even though we have acquired some top top talent i still see a weakness at centre back, that being said it is a weakness that could be fatal to our title aspirations. It is looking like Gomez will partner van Dijk tomorrow and i am praying that he plays as well as i know he can and that he makes that place his own.
Up front we are phenomenal, Firmino, Salah and Mane are the best front three in the League bar none. We have Shaqiri and Sturridge to rotate and as long as Sturridge stays injury free i think that department is solid.
In midfield we have Henderson, Fabinho and Keita... WOW!!! That is some mother F***ing midfield right there. If Lallana, Milner and Wijnaldum can perform at an acceptable level then we should be alright here.
The back four. Alexander Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk and Robertson is a very solid defence for me. It's when i look at Lovren, Klavan, Matip, Moreno and Clyne that i start to worry slightly.
The keeper. Alisson Becker, well what can i say? An absolutely brilliant piece of business in my eyes. A position we have struggled with for years has been firmly dealt with. Hopefully Karius can get his head down and work on his issues and learn from Alisson as well. He has 2 options, he can sulk like a little bi*ch or he can man up and prove people wrong. Grabara looked good in pre season and on form i'd put him ahead of Karius.
The transfer fees have never bothered me really, as long as Klopp gets who he wants. Like i said, my only concern was that we didn't get an Alderweireld type centre back but it is what it is.
Are we better equipped to launch a title assault? Definitely. Do we have the squad depth to maintain a title assault if we suffer injury problems? Probably not.
We'll have to wait and see. I for one can see us winning the League, provided we have that little bit of luck. The hard work is already there.
