Agreed. I really like Firmino. As a matter of fact, I am really struggling to find a player within our starting 11 at the moment that I don't like. Funnily, our captain might be the only one along with Mignolet and it's not that I dislike them, I just don't feel they are good enough. I honestly feel that even if we didn't make a single signing in the upcoming window, we could still mount a serious title challenge.

Does anyone else feel that way? We have shown that the current squad can beat anyone in the top 4 at the moment.

Having said that, an improvement in the GK position is required as well as 1 more solid CB in case Matip or Lovren get injured. I really dont feel the squad needs AS MUCH WORK as many others feel it does.

No and yes, I don't see us mounting a title challenge without serious quality brought in, 2/3 in central areas, at least 1 wide, and it would be handy if we got another striker so we had 3 quality/good quality players in the forward positions. I know klopp is good at making use of what he's got, but he's not enough, especially when you put injuries in the mix.

Only if we have the league to focus on will it be more feasible to go for the league, ideally we need a plan A and a plan B system like we had in 13/14 if we are to pick up enough points home and away. first choice 4231, second choice 4141

we can't consistently win against teams in the 433, 4231 being a form of 433 ofc, but that comes down to being better on the ball and in possession, better passers, better at keeping the ball, against sides like leicester away and newcastle at home who are good at off the ball pressing. these should be the benchmark games where we look to improve. this is where the quality needs adding if we are to avoid at least some inconsistency

"I know klopp is good at making use of what he's got"

Maybe this is the reason I feel so positive. I genuinely do feel that even without additions we could make a challenge. Obviously it would be better to strengthen, but you get my point, I think Jurgen is making our squad a lot better than what we thought it was. [b][/b]

if the signings are the right quality then it will lift the quality already in the squad so I can see why you are buoyant - as are some pundits, like thierry who have tipped us to challenge

without a doubt, players are understanding what they have to do more, understanding their roles, klopp giving them the belief. we're playing more as a team - even from his first game in charge, we've had to against the sides we've faced in europe

also because the players are working hard(er) on and off the pitch

The one thing we got right was the appointment of Klopp.

The future is RED lads.
