#LFC's first XI with a core of Alisson, VVD, Fabinho, Salah can challenge for the title again next season.

However there needs to be more scrutiny towards the squad players.

If #Alisson is out, #Adrian could deputise for a few games (not too many though) as seen this season...

If VVD is out, Gomez and Matip are decent. But beyond that is Hoever, or Sepp ready to step in too? Lovren has to be leaving.

If Trent is out, Williams looks good enough. Cover from Gomez and Hoever too.

Now if #Robertson is out, #Klopp needs a proper left-footed back up! Is Larouci or Lewis ready? If not, get a backup like Kurzawa, Saka or Jamal Lewis.

Can't rely on right-sided Milner or Gomez to give the same thrust and width going forward - fullbacks so key to Klopp's game

If #Fabinho is out, Hendo or Gini are decent options there.

In midfield, Hendo and Gini will start the season as first choice but #Keita/Ox needs to displace either of them by doing Hendo/Gini's jobs well plus provide more G/A.

If #Keita stays fit for most of the season, that's like half a new signing!

Curtis Jones replaces Lallana, providing a different attacking dimension himself. Milner will provide experience and versatility. Both will be in and around the squad pushing the mids ahead of them.

Up top, #Minamino looks like #Firmino's natural back up at CF.

Should Shaqiri leave, is Elliott good enough to play a few games in #Salah's absence?

Origi would continue to be #Mané's back up, but can he or #Brewster improve more to be better options next season?

Given #Covid19, #Klopp just needs two signings really, a left-back and wide forward.

Sales from Lovren, Shaqiri/Origi, and wages freed from Clyne, Lallana should allow #Klopp to get a decent forward (maybe Rashica from Bremen) and left back (maybe Lewis from Norwich)...

Neither has to be world beaters now but just have the mentality and enough quality to step in when required. Likes of Rashica and Jamal Lewis can slowly grow into their roles and in the club, and who knows could turn into the next Robbo or Firmino/Mané.
