Without European commitments, this was Liverpool’s biggest chance to end their trophy drought
#3 Central midfield
Ad
Liverpool’s squad depth in the middle of the park is extremely thin for a team who aspire to challenge for the title. If the Reds manage to qualify for the Champions League next season, they will have to play more games, which is why Klopp should try to get at least one top-class central midfielder in the summer.
Maybe even two, if he is backed by the owners.

Henderson has done an excellent job in the holding midfield role this season but there is no backup for him in that position. Also, Liverpool should go for another box to box midfielder who can compete with the likes of Lallana, Wijnaldum and Can for the other two positions in midfield.
Liverpool’s game is much more fluid compared to other teams in Europe. This is why Klopp should target midfielders who are good both defensively and attacking-wise and have plenty of energy to cover every blade of grass.
