Ideal squad size

[Red Mullet]

Read somewhere we have 38 players and Klopp is looking to trim it down. He was quoted as saying "We have 38 players at the moment, and that is 100% too much!" so does that mean he thinks we should only have 19 players?

Thoughts?

And then go off topic at least 3 times, that includes a best 11 and then ending in Lucas.

Im not sure you understand what 100% is.

Or Jurgen does for that matter.

Was thinking he meant 100% true that squad needs to be trimmed. 28-30 seems about right including 8-10 youngsters and allowing for 5-8 injuries which seem to pile up at least once per season.

110 over 70.

How many of those players are U21 players though?

In an ideal world, we sell skrtel lucas allen wisdom ilori bogdan benteke ibe and balotelli.

So we have 2 cups and the league. Not a lot of games this season. I'm going for 24-26 with about 6-8 youngsters. This is essential the A and B teams where the B players can slot in when the A players are either injured, suspended or in a bad run.

Has anyone actually left?
Haven't been following the news for a while

BTW, imo
3 keepers

2 LB + 1 res
2 RB + 1 res
4 CB + 1 res

4 DM/CM + 1 res
4AM/Wing + 1 res
3 ST + 1 res

22 senior squad members plus 6 ressies is about enough.

Given how the squad stands at the moment and the rumors regarding the departing players i would go for

GK: Mignolet, Karius (Shmal George). Ward is supposedly going out on loan to Huddersfield and Fulton has already joined Chesterfield on loan for the season.
LB: Moreno, Ben Chilwell? (Brad Smith)
RB: Clyne, Flannagan (Conner Randal)
CB: Lovern, Sakho, Matip, Gomez (?)
DM/CM: Can, Henderson, Milner, Dahoud / Zielenski? (Stweart, Barannagan, Chrivella)
AM/Wing: Coutinho, Firmino, Lallalna, Mane, Markovic (Ojo)
ST: Sturridge, Ings, Origi (?)

Basis the above incoming should be a LB & a DM/CM and departures would include Benteke, Balotolli, Skrtel, Ibe, Allen, Lucas, Illori, Alberto, Wisdom & Bogdan

Yeah that looks probable

 

[Dreambeliever]

38 is far too big considering we only have the league and a couple of cups.

A squad of 25 is more than enough.

Can't wait for the new season to start!

 

[tombrown]

Didn't we complete one of the seasons in the late 70's having used only 14 players? That'll do

22

 

[hmmmmm1]

If want to play high Intensity, we will need a big squad.

You're missing out Grujic in CM... and we havent signed Dahoud?

Thanks for pointing out Grujic. The intention was to show that either of Dahoud / Zielenski could be signed hence the ? , however seems like none of them are going to happen now, not this transfer window.
