When I think about this season, I see Chelsea, Man U, City & Arsenal all either having managers more settled or making good squad changes in the market & this must not be ignored
The need for us to EVOLVE in both style & personnel is HUGE

When you think about City dominance over the last 3 seasons, yes they spend a shit load of money but forget that, we can’t change that, but what we saw last season was Pep’s style be unravelled. They lost 9 league games, a tally Liverpool haven’t got close to over 3 seasons 
So we need to learn from City’s fall from grace.
What Klopp has built & achieved at Liverpool with this group of players is nothing short of a miracle. He doesn’t buy stars, he makes them
That said, the whole team has been together for 3 years & that means our pattern of play,

Our player traits & our need to keep key players fit when most key players are now 28/29 is going to cause us a problem.
You then factor in a season where the games are back to back more than ever, THIS is the window, like no other where 2-3 class additions need to be added.

We have lost Lallana & Lovren who were crap, BUT personalities in the dressing room.
We need to add new blood who are hungry to achieve the success this crop have witnessed recently to ensure no complacency.
I am in business, I know our club, like it or not IS a business &

The need to sell players to raise funds is the NORM in all clubs bar City & PSG.
We must sell Grujic, Wilson, Origi to raise capital BUT my call out to @Linda_Pizzuti & @John_W_Henry is we need to risk & trust they will be sold & do not allow those situations to stop us adding

Now!
Klopp style is unique. As we saw with Fabinho, Minamino (now shining), Ox & Robertson, players can take 6 months to come to peak for us.
A week can be the difference between 3 points to win the league so we must act ASAP!

The other thing to factor here is Salah & Mane have won all they need to in England, they are 29 next summer & will look for new challenges just like Thiago wants.
Next summer, Henderson, Bobby, Wijnaldum, Milner & Mane/Salah all are at a moneyball point where selling & finding

Replacements is going to be needed or planned.
You can’t go into a season having circa 6 first team additions & expect same output from previous season especially as I’ve noted Klopp signings need 6 months to max on ability for us.

So in summary, is it fair to expect us to get another 97-99 points again? Of course not, that has happened 3 times in 30 years BUT to get mid 80’s which will win league this year, can this current squad do that?
No. We won’t keep Salah & Mane fit, we don’t have adequate cover

& our CM is too injury prone. Henderson, Keita, Ox don’t have good records & Wijnaldum is just bland.
A CB, CM & wide forward needed for me to think we can dominate this league.
