That's a strange attitude trilleac is a squad not what Liverpool have been lacking?
Not really no. We were lucky with injuries this year and had little need for depth in the squad. Most guys played a lot, didn’t get injured and held their form. If you ask me out real priorities it’s 1. 1st Choice Keeper 2. 1st choice Centre half 3. Add sub midfielder and sub striker.
We’d a huge squad when Klopp took over and after his 1st year he gutted it, a bloated squad of half interested prima-donna is of f**k all use to anyone and I think Klopp realises that. What you risk in terms of decimation by injury with a small squad you gain in a increased sense of camadarie and togetherness in the dressing room.
“Squad depth” is a buzz word I find used as a lazy analysis of why teams fail rather than getting to the root of the problem. A strong first 11 is better complimented by young, hungry if yet unproven group of subs who’ll do what the manager wants rather than a slew of highly talented misfits sitting on fat salaries.
Uniteds glory years had at best a mid rate replacement side. Park, Smith, Fletcher,, Macheda, Saha, Anderson, Nani were all highly effective players off the bench at united who were found out as Bog standard hack merchants when moved further afield. United now have a star-studded, astronomically expensive bench who are probably less effective than the mid rate guys of 10 years ago.
