Since last season I have felt mainly positive but at times a bit negative. Why? - we sold players I would not have sold, some players I like have not played much this season and we have did go in for the very best in the transfer market - perhaps looking for low cost buys and at the time I reasoned that if we did that then we were unlikely to get up to the level all of us wanted. As things stand at the moment I think I was a bit wrong on all counts.
You see the truth was that at the end of last season we had too many players and many were not suitable for us. So there was no point keeping them all - have we been short of options this term so far? - no so that shows the squad is not too small at all. Btw most of the sales I was fine with - the main one I did not want to go was Joe Allen but really we have so many midfielders it was best for him to go for his own career's sake.
I like Can and Origi and neither have played much this season and also I would have liked to have seen Gruic and Ings have more chances but I think I and they need to be patient and in time I think they will play their parts. I think any players not sold by JK clearly figure in his plans.
Also the type of targets question - we got players from Newcastle, Southampton and foreign teams not at the really top level and I in my naivity wanted to see us sign players from top teams - but really if we got players from top teams it would only be those who could not get in their teams - and by signing such players we would be unlikely to overtake them - so well played Jurgen Klopp. as by doing it his way we got hungry, team based, talented players who want to be at LFC and fit into both his and the clubs mentality.
So it is a so far so good from me so far this season and a memo to self to trust Klopp's judgment more. The LB issue is another thing - how come we did not go for Hector and have kept Moreno and then played Milner out of position at LB. Well he has excelled in that role - for me doing far more than when in his 'normal' position and so again we have to trust JK. I also question the treatment of Sakho. - another one where he knows more and to trust him!!
So yes it is not wrong to ask questions about things at the club as I have done but at the end of the day it could even be that Klopp knows more about what is needed than I do - and so far we are not doing too bad are we - and the team spirit seems great too which is very important.
Onwards and upwards and all that
