      What I would say is a lot of Liverpool fans are knowledgeable in terms of what we need, sure we have some social media posters who go for views and the few odd balls but in general fans are right

      When it comes to forwards for example c we can all see bar Salah, all other attackers are playing average/decent at best

      So naturally they think we need an attacking, sure that isn’t the right answer as we have 5 but it’s understandable at times why people say it. We basically need a reshuffle up top still

      It isn’t right

      What mistake did Klopp do ? What did they admit too



      Not re building the cm last season, we paid a heavy price for it

      Him saying we didn’t need one, only to buy one and say he was wrong but by then it was too late and we could only get a loan deal for that player who was injured

      It’s obvious a mistake was made in not getting players in and refreshing the squad

      Remember when we had no cbs either ? There was a season we went in with 3 main cb, we needed a 4th but klopp and cl were being stubborn and we didn’t they one only to get one the year after I think it was or in January, cannot remember now

      My point is even the best get it wrong, I wouldn’t right off fans completely

      We at times lack aggression in the market and it is our weakness imo now this may be klopp or the board, I remember him saying he wants the club take more risks, so could be him protecting but feels like he has a blind spot

      My personal opinion btw if we may get one player in January, one is all we need

      We can’t buy an attacker until one leaves, we have 5. The coaching staff need to work with them as for me Diaz, Nunez and gapko have been poor this season, jota seems to have been injured so I can’t remember how he has done

      But we need to fix the issue with Thiago, looks like we lack options in his position

      The club got hit by injuries hence why they brought one in

      I’ll take Klopps judgment every day of the week over any fan.

      A rebuild was needed, klopp got it wrong last season. Just like when Ferguson got it wrong selling a certain cb. Just like pep got it wrong buying Phillips

      JĂźrgen had 4 cbs mate. The issue was he wanted to buy another left back but as per fsg wouldn't help him. He got creative and sold a cb , bought a left back in tsimikas and had fabinho as a back up plan for 4th cb. We know what happened next.

      Then in the January he went to fsg top of the league and wanting funds for a cb. Again they didn't help him. He ended up with a lower league player from Preston he didn't want and a loan player who like melo wasn't good enough.

      So yes maybe he's made mistakes but if he'd been backed like he should have been he wouldn't have been robbing Peter to pay Paul. That's the fact of the matter.

      We should have bought midfield players the summer before last. But we spent 60plus million upfront on nunez and left the midfield to wait for Bellingham ..... the right player. That didn't work out either.

      He didn’t sell Lovren just so that he could bring in a LB , Kostas was already arriving , Lovren decided he wanted to leave so they sold him , the CB they wanted wasn’t available until the next summer so they went with 3 CBs plus Fabinho


      Stop making up stuff

      Managers make mistakes as do clubs

      Players like Keita , Ox , Fabinho etc were still in the squad with no one knocking on the door to buy them -wr started the season with
       

      7 midfielders for 3 spots along with any youngsters like Bajetic


      Losing 3 to injuries early on plus a dramatic drop in form for Fabinho was the issue - but there was always plans to replace Ox and Keita this summer when their contracts run out


      But when it comes to Jan they will prob bring in one at most

      There won’t be a forward or a CB , potentially only a young DMn

      I won’t go into detail as it’s old news but your post shows why people were calling it and the club dropped the ball so to speak

      Quality over quantity

      This window, if we want to try to win the league, we go for a top dm/cm to replace Thiago

      If we are happy seeing what happens with our current plan, we get in one for the future and accept 2nd or 3rd which is still brilliant considering where we came from

      That’s not how football works, just because you sign a player doesn’t mean it’s instant win button. See Chelsea

      What I’m saying is if we find a top player who can improve starting 11 right away, it can help increase our chances of trying to win as I said not win as you said.
      as we are beginning to struggle in midfield

      I’m not sure what the purpose of your posts are tbh are you trying to imply there are no players available in January or the market or within our budget ?

      I’m not attacking fsg, I don’t understand why you’re getting so defensive

      So why you spent almost 24 hours 365 days a year on a fan forum ?

      Who said anything about FSG 🤷‍♂️

      Was just asking who is the Top DM you are talking about that the club should get in as opposed to the “one for the future” player that can arrive ?

      That Romano Fabrozio guy has us linked with Johan Bakayoko, Belgian winger/forward for PSV Eindhoven (42 appearances, 8 goals from 2022 to present). Apparently, a bid has been submitted. Anyone know much about him, seen him play?

      Just realised endo might be gone for around a month from 10th of jan

      I would be so so so surprised if we don’t get a dm/cm in January

      That’s Thiago, baj and endo

      That leaves us so short in cm to play with, can’t rely on players like jones at all and eliott seems to be an impact player only

      It’s really important we get someone in imo

      Thiago and Baj should be close. We dont need just a DM like when we panic-bought a CB like Kabak back then. We need gold, we need a proven world class guy like when we bought VVD in January.

      Actually I think we are good offensively. What we really lack is a link between defense and offense - a DM like our Fabinho once was. I think if we could plug in 2019 Fabinho into this team we‘d be serious title contenders. Of course we‘d also need more luck on the injury front. Losing Thiago, Baj, Robbo and Jota for significant time is just a good excuse for Jürgen - and that is not meant sarcastically, I mean it. Therefore I am not worried, just disappointed for our bad luck.

      If the club do bring in someone it will be no one will have expected

      Have we stopped trying to sign Andre? I assumed that he would be our only buy in the winter window.

      Personally, I don't think we need anyone.
