What a great win, seeing of Arsenal when we really needed too just as we did Spurs, real 6 pointer games those. If, IF we can keep the players fit i think we will return to the form of the first part of the year, however lose a couple of players and thats when we suffer; we have not got the squad esp in defence.
Klopp has had a good look at the squad now and i would expect that he will have a BIG summer, if we can add real quality to the squad for the LB,CF and DM as an absolute minimum then that will make a huge difference.
Also really unlucky to lose Ings and Gomez for the 2nd season running, have got to think that they will be fine now, so unlucky surely it cant go on. I can see Lucas, Studge, Moreno all moving on and as already mentioned their replacements coming in; just a fit CF would make a massive difference.
So its fingers crossed for me...PLEASE..at least no more defensive injuries!!!
Just add squad depth and mix!

A LB is definitely necessary. Moreno is clearly out of favour and will, in all likelihood, move on. I've always liked Rodriguez at Wolfsburg whenever I've seen him.
I'm not sure we'll buy a CB actually. Depending on how well Matip and Lovren do for the rest of the season and whether Klopp rates Gomez enough to be back up.
Milner I'm just not sure about. He's lack of calmness in possession is beginning to irritate me. Too many aimless punts up the field.
A CF is a certainty if Sturridge goes imo. A pacy wide forward similar to Mane would be great as well.
GK is a big question for me. How much faith does Klopp have in Karius? Another squad gk would be pointless so it would need to be a definitive number 1.
We definitely need a proper DM imo. Henderson does well there but I'd rather have him compete with Wij for the box to box role and get in a specialised DM.

Its only one game im not gonna go overboard cuz next week is another story. The players have to stop talking and get the consistency back from the early part of the season.

You guys should sign Kasper Schmeichel. Always rated him.

New keeper is a must for me.
If so inclined, I'd be willing to let Lucas go and sign a new CB. Alternatively, he could stay one more season while we see whether Gomez is up to it. Matip, lovren, Klavan and Gomez if he is good enough wouldn't be too bad.
Signing another top CB, even with the sale of Lucas would really push Gomez down the pecking order and his development would be in jeopardy. We could keep Lucas next season and decide whether to buy a new top CB in summer 2018, thus giving Gomez a great chance to cement a his place in the team.
In short, allow Lucas to leave and give his limited role and apps to Gomez, as understudy to Matip, lovren and Klavan. See how he does. Bit risky but the potential returns make it worthwhile for me.

No Love:
Both Lovren and Klavan are not good enough. Both have a big mistake in them and lapses in concentration.
Don't worry about Gomez progression. We need 3 top quality CBs. At the moment we only have 1.

3 centre backs
Which PL has 4 quality centre backs then Kash?
It's time for Lucas to go and be replaced and that it's for me at centre half. He's not mobile enough to play midfield for Klopp which is why he never plays there. He's too erratic at centre half to be relied upon.
Sign a top centre half to partner Matip and have Lovren, Klavan and Gomez as back up and we will be fine in that area.
