I believe that our 1st eleven is good enough to get top 4 but we lack depth and this is where we fall away when we have injuries or suspensions. The first eleven can get us to CL football IMO but FSG need to invest in squad depth so we have cover when we do get injuries or suspensions.
Sure we do need to invest up front but if our squad wasn't so thin, we would be in a better place and be able to rotate. I honestly believe now that we are a chance to get fourth spot,(admitedly a few weeks ago i thought we couldn't) so if we do, then we will be in a stronger position to attract better players. LFC will be more attractive because players will see they will actaully play and not just sit on the bench and the players we have now will want to stay because they are the ones who will have earned us a CL spot.
The race for 4th, even possibly 3rd, is wide open at the moment and i think there are 6 sides who could fill both those positions.
I would agree with you and would add that our overall squad is not that bad, sure we do not have a top 4 squad but 6th definitely +-1. Our main problem though is striking position, we are very very thin there. Nothing new, we all know about this for at least a year now and not sorting this out last summer was a major cock up to say the least. Hopefully it will be sorted I hope first week of Jan.
