http://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team We have 4 GK s listed ( Bogroll should not count really but he is drawing wages) We have 9 defenders , one Clyne is a long term injury, so really we have 8. Most of the CB s are injury prone . We have 6 midfielders 4 of which have constant on off injuries. We have 6 forwards . I coming back from long term injury, 1 a very young rookie with limited experience , another new youngster trying to find his way. So we have 25 listed , of which 1 gk and clyne can be discounted , leaving a squad of 23 . 2 are young forwards that would be a risk in big games at present. Do we have adequate strength in depth now that Studge and Coutts have gone ? |

Well to be totally unfair our squad has been balanced for over 20 plus years. Balanced precariously between here is our best player, McManaman, Owen, Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Suarez, Abeloa, Anelka, Sterling, Coutinho, etc., how much will we get for him and to whom shall we sell him? Once sold the team becomes unbalanced once again and we start rebuilding again. It's rather a fine balancing act actually and all our managers eventually fall off the tightrope, the result being more often than not nil trophies. With some fans already shouting, "Taxi for Mr Klopp!"

The short answer to your question DWOG .. is NO. The long answer lies in balance sheets, P&L accounts and that spanking new yacht JWH has his eye on as Linda's valentine's gift.

All upgrades on the ones they replaced, except for Solanke. No replacement for Studge, the rest of that list I have to ask, how many league games did they play last season?

The who is who of "who"...... right there in your list of players left. Outside Phil of course. Clearly, they were not needed. How (or rather why) do you replace those not needed. How many are we allowed on a squad? 25? Honestly dunno. As for Sturridge. You are having a laugh right? A suitable replacement would be Aquilani. A full time nurse?

Which begs the question does it not - what the f*ck are all those losers doing being bought and listed by LFC as first team squad members? Why the F*ck have we been paying for these players , and why are they here . Also Why can we not get shut of them permanently ? Once proper players are brought in the need for a state of the art 6 speed revolving door maybe done away with. Perhaps some of the "Edwin Hawkins " singers can explain that . As for squad numbers Hols check the Offy - they have 38 or 39 players listed as first team , so there is your answer. Edited by DickWhiteog, Feb 1 2018, 02:01 PM.

A Liverpool squad player is actually one that plays for the first team in at least one game in all competitions. That eliminates , Bogdan, Wilson, Ejaria , Kent who went out on loan and barely covers Flanagan who I think might of had one appearance this Season in red as did Markovic. Grujic had a few late sub showings. Whatever happened to Ojo , doing ok at Fulham is he ? I bet he’s never coming back. Club probably hoping they can find a club dumb enough like Bournemouth who paid Liverpool good money for Ibe and Smith. Edited by Aussiepool, Feb 1 2018, 02:19 PM.

One swallow doesn't make a good beer nor does it apparently make a summer. However, Ibe has been good this season and he had a very good game last night against Chelsea, some critics saying he's finally arrived! Ojo is now apparently finding his feet at Fulham, 4 goals so far in 16 games - nay bad. .
