So everyone is in agreement we need some quality players added that can improve the first team/bench or provide genuine competition. However theres areas we can improve on that don't require signing players.
Goalkeeper coach - Been here years now, when he joined Reinas formed dropped like a stone and hes not managed to imo improve one single GK we have had since with the majority becoming worse. Keepers get all the stick but wtf has this guy been doing? Because hes a nice guy and the longest in the shower he seems untouchable. 25 hours a facking day bs, i couldn't give a fack hes not facking good enough!

Defensive coach - Really struggling on set pieces, not just defensively but offensively, Klopp needs some serious help in this department and the club should be doing all they can to get in some help.

So yeah i'll probably be more happy if we address these facking issues then signing some player for 50m.

Clutching at straws
So far you have said the goalkeeping coach needs to go and all you have to go on is that keepers haven't improved (even though Mignolet has improved).
Have Begovic and Courtois improved at Chelsea? Has Cech improved at Arsenal? Has Bravo improved at City?
Hell of a lot of goalkeeping coaches going to be out of work in the summer by your minute definition of what a good goalkeeping coach is.

yeah by insinuating i pick Klopp up on every point

Goalkeepers defenders, keep coming in keeping struggling with the same things they never used to struggle with at previous clubs. Infact if/when they go out on loan they will do better because they have better coaches in their areas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolute BS. You want to know why they look better at the likes of Palace? Because these teams just set up to defend first, attack second. Of course they'll look better when they have 5 other teammates within 10m at all times to cover their errors. If you want to go back to playing Hodgson style football then Lovren would probably look amazing again too. But who wants that?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to say they look better defending set pieces etc too

I said a lot has to do with the system, but they also have coaches and managers that are more comfortable with coaching them how to defend properly.

Individual errors cost us a lot, and a lot comes from our system that when they occur we are not in a position where we have lots of cover. But the defending and taking of set pieces is facking woeful and has nothing to do with the system.
As for the GK coach we will have to disagree then, hes been here long enough i've not seen him help imrpove 1 gk. Mignolet hasn't even improved his kicking or commanding of area since hes been here. People think hes improved because hes not made any huge blunders recently, thats not improving that to be expected ffs . They think hes improved because hes made some vital saves? again you expect him to make those over a season and shot stopping is every keepers forte.

Seriously???? Mig hasn't improved his distribution or command of his area? We must have been watching different games this season then. I'm not saying that is down to coaching, but to say it hasn't improved for whatever reason is simply not true. How you feel qualified to make these comments about coaching baffles me when you have approximately the same intimate knowledge of the coaching methods at different clubs as I do, i.e. zero. Your entire argument is based on assumptions, not a qualified fact in sight.

Never said it was fact always said it was my opinion. He hasn't improved at anything, all hes done is done what was expected of him finally from what i've seen. GK coaches are there to improve the GKs and help them work on attributes, its not only Mignolet hes failed to do it with is it?

His kicking has vastly improved.
When he joined the twiggetly ankled Mig could barely boot it over the half way line. Now he can get a bit more distance on it.

Imagine if we had a GK coach that could work on his positioning and command of his area maybe the defence would get some help at defending set pieces then.

I understand its not going to happen though, pretty sure he signed a new extension when Klopp did, feel sorry for Karius and any keeper the joins in the future though its all downhill from here for them.
He might get some help in for other areas though.

All we need to do is sign Big Sam as defensive coach.
