Klopp needs to overhaul the squad in the summer

Talk of Liverpool winning the league this season was not only premature but laughable. The Anfield outlet do not possess enough squad depth and Klopp lacks a number of top players who know how to win. The German can fire up the players at his disposal to win big games, getting through those teams with energy, effort and will, but there is no quality there ultimately.

It should be a task to upgrade your starting eleven but at Liverpool, that’s just not the case. The Reds don’t have a centre forward half as good as the teams they’re competing against, and they also do not have a centre back who wins battles and starts the next attack from the back. Liverpool also lack the ability to ride out pressure and to grind out results. Klopp is simply too reliant on shape, and none of his players can respond.

Liverpool ought to go out this summer and bring a big name in. Someone that can change a game, lift fans’ backsides of their seats and influence games throughout. Otherwise, key players at the club will become impatient with the lack of success and improvement under the manager.
