    Jurgen has a had a good look at this squad and I think he will be ruthless this summer. A while ago I would have said that Id rather see two top class players added as no European football looked likely, however I think he needs at least five new players into that first XI including a new Captain. 8th in the league is a reflection of the quality of the squad. A poor league in general and to finish 8 with a manager like Klopp shows what he has to work with.

    Aside from Sakho and Ings, that 18 is probably strongest Available however out of the starting 11 I would not have Mignolet, Toure (done well recently), Moreno and Lallana in the first XI every week next season. Bin Mignolet, Toure and Moreno. Lallana squad player, Allen, Lucas and Srktel have proved sub standard over the last four years and should be moved on. Apart from year inspired by Suarez they were the centre of some of the worst LFC sides in memory. Benteke is a goner as well

    Also think Klopp has had a good look at youngsters since xmas and only Origi really impressed him for squad next season. Ibe could be moved on.

    Word on the street is that he is planning a serious pre season regime for the players and he probably knows some of the current squad won't be up for that.


    People might think it's a knee jerk to tonight, however this squad has been pathetic in the league for two seasons in a row.
    Time for a ruthless summer.

    He said in his post match interview that he got "good information" when the score was 1-1, that's good enough for me.
    I have a cull list but I'll leave it to Jurgen.

    We don't need to buy anyone, just bring in Claudio ranieri Dilly Ding Dilly Dong, we will win the league- if he could do it with a team nearly relegated imagine what he could do with a team that finished 8th. Just gotta make sure the faroe islands aren't in the premier league next year

    A lot of work needed. If I was klopp I wouldn't know where to start. Midfield needs to be addressed as a priority for me. We also need to find a captain some where. There likely will be more out than in I fear

    I don't think too many can be considered safe. Clyne, Can and Origi are 3 players with the right profile and character that Klopp looks for, it wouldn't surprise me to see any of the rest out the door. As stated, a captain to lead the team is a priority.

    3/4 quality players with the right mental attitude , there's been to many bad defeats this season .

    I can see 10/14 players been shipped out.

    I believe in his first window with Dortmund he shipped out 17 player's, something on that scale is required.

    Toure
    Skrtel
    Moreno
    Smith
    Allen
    Ibe
    Balotelli
    Benteke
    Bogdan

    As a starting point I can see all of the above leaving the club for a variety of different reasons! On top of that Lucas, Mignolet along with a few younger guys might also find themselves looking for clubs! That's 10/12 players by my reckoning but obviously getting rid of so many will not be without its own problems so Klopp will have to really weigh up his options!

    There will be a lot moved out but not many from his main 16-18 players imo.He's an honest guy so he'll probably have a look at himself too,he got it wrong on plenty of occasions both before games and in games.I've seen him taking a bit of criticism this morning for playing to the crowd last night while things were falling apart on the pitch and thats something for me that the honeymoon period is over on.Cheerleading should be kept to a minimum and the team needs to do that with their performances on the pitch. If you're getting caught up in things like that then it's got to be hard to concentrate with what's happening on the pitch,less emotion is sometimes a good thing for a manager.

    Even though he has been poor this season Ibe is probably young enough to be given more time without the risk of losing money but I wouldn't argue with any of the others. I'd say Teixeira Mignolet and Lucas could be added to the list, although Migs could be kept as backup if no one is willing to pay for him with him on a new contract and probably big enough wages. Other fringe players like Ilori and Wisdom could be cut loose too. That is a lot out the exit door.

    I'd definitely keep Ibe,there's a very good player there who imo has just lost his way a bit.I have my own theory on why but I'm convinced there's a way back for him.

    No huge cull needed in my opinion just replace shit with class and we will compete. If Klopp can get a goalkeeper and left back sorted that's half the battle. I hope Matip is a mouth piece cause we need one of them someone to reign in the fullbacks and midfield. A top CM to play along side Can. The most important thing for me is no more nice guys. We have probably the nicest team in the prem we need a few nasty players.

    This summer we could see as much as 10 to 15 players leaving. Once we bring in quality not quantity

    With no CL football he may as well clear out.
    Now is the time to break up the unit and do it.

    I wonder will Gotze come now

    If we let go of 10-15 we'll need to bring in quantity and hope that they turn out to be quality.

    We don't need a big squad next season and with squad players and younger lads will add up to between 10 or 15 players

    Bogdan
    Skrtel
    Smith
    Wisdom
    Ilori
    Rossiter
    Teixeira
    Alberto
    Benteke
    Balotelli

    Would all look like certs to leave for me.

    If we could have the below as backups I think we would be in a strong position
    Mignolet
    Moreno
    Allen
    Lucas (Midfield/ Centre half)


    We have too many midfielders in around the same calibre and I feel like we could do with investing in a top midfielder, or maybe Henderson is that.


    I am too tired and drained to put together any sort of cohesive opinion on our squad. Thank god for the summer.

    Ah stop lads, the mental image conjured up of babbsnads doing a striptease for an excited edcarroll02 is too much to take after last night's defeat... :(:oops:
