My honest thoughts on every Liverpool player and whether they should be kept, loaned or sold this summer:

[A Thread]
Alisson:

When he& #39;s on it, he& #39;s an elite goalkeeper, but I do feel he& #39;s often immune to a lot of criticism on here. His poor season has only been called out recently and he can be slow to get down/his distribution needs works.

Expect more, but we know his quality.

VERDICT: Keep
Adrian:

I& #39;m not even going to justify this with an explanation. Terrible goalkeeper and I& #39;ll rejoice when his contract expires this summer.

VERDICT: Sell (out of contract)
Caoimhin Kelleher:

Didn& #39;t really rate him prior to this season, but he& #39;s done well when called upon and proved to be a much better deputy than Adrian.

That save to deny Huntelaar was was great. Think he& #39;d benefit more from a loan and regular football.

VERDICT: Loan
Trent Alexander-Arnold:

His first-half of the season was underwhelming, but since the Southampton game in January, he& #39;s bounced back superbly.

Noticeable improvements to his defending this season too. He remains the best RB in the world.

VERDICT: Keep
Neco Williams:

Too slow, not good enough defensively and the gulf between him and Trent is far too big.

I would say he& #39;d benefit from a loan, but again, don& #39;t think he& #39;ll ever be good enough.

VERDICT: Sell
Virgil Van Dijk:

There aren& #39;t enough superlatives to describe how good this man is. Has all the attributes needed and makes everything just look so easy.

Undoubtedly the best defender I& #39;ve seen in my lifetime and cannot wait to see him back on the pitch.

VERDICT: Keep
Joe Gomez:

Underappreciated by so many people on here. The fact Virgil rates him so highly speaks volumes and he& #39;s an elite level athlete.

Perhaps a bit more consistency and room to improve aerially, but as a long-term partner to VVD, there aren& #39;t many better.

VERDICT: Keep
Joel Matip:

This is a tough one as talent-wise, Matip is one of the best CBs we& #39;ve had this past decade, but he just cannot be relied on from a fitness perspective.

I& #39;d be tempted to keep him around, but it& #39;s probably better to bring in someone reliable.

VERDICT: Sell
