Our squad is relatively small but players are likely going to need to be move out for us to invest in the depth of the squad.
Which of these players need replacing?

You missed off Sturridge surely he is too of the list to be shipped out, Markovic as well.

Sturridge yes I've missed him off, Markovic I just took as a given.

He's been out injured for 9 months, he can't just come on and be brilliant, he was dropped into the game with 30 minutes played as Salah got injured, I'm sure it was Klopp plan to give him 10 minutes at the end if we need a goal, not 60 minutes against RM.

Absolutely.
But having to rely on Lallana showed how much trust could not be put on others. In hindsight it may have been best to throw Moreno on to kick some of his countrymen to bits.

Maybe, but I think Solanke would have only moved around up front like Firmino was already doing, we needed to get hold of the ball and create more for the front players, losing our best player and primary goal scorer creates a void that no one on the bench could fill.

To go:
Mignolet - self explanatory
Origi - struggled with WOlfsburg and was not in the 1st 11 for the 2nd half of their season. Not convinced about him
Ings - not good enough. He also needs to get 1st team football
Sturridge - used to like him but he lost his pace after his injuries. Big wages and not available most of the time. Klopp doesnt like that he doesn't press
Markovic - even for free just let him go to get him off the books. Nobody is going pay any kind of money for him(as evidenced i the last couple of seasons) and for the club and his sake he should just be released

Possibly go:
Wijnaldum - if we get fekir in we would have keita/ox/fekir as the more attacking midfielders. Fabinho and Henderson for DM and milner as a versatile sub option. I dont see enough in him personally and if we can raise funds for better quality elsewhere I'd ship him
Moreno - I'm inclined towards keeping him as I dont think we are going to get a decent LB replacement for cheap. He has improved last season but still not reliable. Can still be useful though. RObertson rarely gets injured so I think keeping Moreno for backup is fine
Karius - I'm not too sure about him. Crazy mistakes but he may grow stronger from the experience. I'm more inclined to keeping him as No.2 and getting an experience first choice stopper
Clyne - TAA and Gomez may be ahead of him now. Fabinho apparently also can play RB if needed. If we can get a decent price for him its worth considering
Grujic - no idea what's the situation with him
Milner - I like his versatility being able to cover for LB and play on the flanks but he is old and losing his legs. I think we can get one more good season out of him and after that, amicably parting ways seem to be the right thing to do

Keep:
lallana - at 30, we wont get a good price for him and a replacement would cost much more. I think he will still be useful in the next season when fully fit
Lovren - i think his good games to catastrophic mistakes ratio has improved. Seems to have formed a decent pairing with van dijk

To get:
Pulisic or similar player- plays both side of a front 3, can go infield and down the byline.Good dribbler. Would be great competition for Mane and Salah

Good creative midfielder (fekir maybe) - the guy who can find a pass through a crowded defence like de bruyne or eriksson

1 more quality CB - so we can have a reliable option on the bench instead of Klavan or Matip

Most of them should be kept, but only as backup. Unless you're one of the richest clubs on the planet, you cannot really have top quality in reserve - the players above would make a decent subs bench though (except for karius and moreno.)

To sell all of the above and replace them with better would cost WAY too much money. If you asked which ones should be in the 1st team next season, that's easy....none of them (although Lovren seems be learning a lot from Virgil)
