A lot has been said about our defence but our biggest weakness this season has been midfield for me, it often leaves the defence exposed and with Ox out lacks a little creatively.
We have now signed Fabinho and have Keita coming in.
Our midfield has gone from Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum to Keita, Fabinho, Chamberlain with the potential of Fekir to follow.
That is a vast improvement in such an important area of the park.
Most excited I've been as an LFC fan in a long long time. I always felt this season's CL final was a little too early for a developing side. I have no doubt that we will reach another under Klopp as we are so well suited to the competition.
Also a little word for Lovren who was immense against Madrid, he really turned up when it counted. There is clearly a lot of talent there he just doesn't show it often enough and can have an absolute mare. Makes signing a new CB less of a priority for me.
Bring on the new season!

The first one is made ultimately worse by the fact that he did the same thing in the second leg against city. He’s not learned to simply stay calm and hold on to the facking ball.

For once we dont have to stress about any sales. The only possible big sale I can think of is if Salah sets the world cup alight.
So everything we do this season will be adding to a squad that came 4th and blitzed its way to the CL final. We're on the up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We sell Salah then this window is pointless then
We will get rid of Sturridge, Ings, Origi, Mig, Grujic and make £40m out of it minimum.

i think grujic might have another loan to a prem team

Fekir isn't a midfielder.
Plays a 9 and half role, similar to Firmino.

they changed his role this season, he played in midfield (albeit the most advanced)

Compare the position between last season and this season.

That's exactly what we need in attack. Can he play wide also?
To be fair Klopp is good at moulding a player to a position so I hope if we get Fekir it's to play in the front 3.

That shows him playing as a 10 v Everton, I watched both games he was the furthest forward im sure.
He's played RW but can't say i've ever seen him out there.
He reminds me of that boy Taarabt in ability without the rest of the rubbish that came with him. Genuinely think he'll be a treat to watch if you can get him.

I also happen to think we'll get back to the CL final before long.
The group stage can be challenging but most English clubs should be expected to qualify from it.
The we have the two legged ties and I'd always back us with the Anfield factor.
It seems so far at the moment having gotten so close but keep the faith lads.

Don't usually like Liverpool, but if you get Fekir your team will be looking pretty tasty and will no doubt win me round further as a neutral & be my go to Fifa team
As an Arsenal fan you were one of the teams I was hoping we could realistically overtake this year, but it looks like you could be having a window that at best for us means the gap stays the same as it currently is.
