I wouldve thought going on loan to a relegation challenger would mean he would see way more action that if he joined a higher team.

If you think Mourinho used to throw players under the bus then wait til you have rodgers and you lose a match. He will do it with much less justification. He does have a good record with coaching players but i'm not convinced he is any better at tactically making changes within a match. He prob has a better idea of what style he wants to play but does he have a plan B for when things aren't working? And will his ego being able to handle being in the same dressing room as the egos you already have in there?

Take this with a grain of salt as I haven't seen as much of him as I would like. Unlike many players nowadays, he is pretty good with both feet. On the ball it looks like he has good vision - picks passes well. Happy to take players on, good dribbler (did I mention that he uses both feet) and uses his body well to shield the ball. Is fast and strong. Defensively i'm not so sure, Takes up good positions but seems to rely heavily on his pace and long legs. Not so sure about his striking of the ball - tends to scuff it too much for my liking (which means his long passes don't have as much pace as they should) . However everything I've seen suggest that he is a real player and if he continues to work hard on his game then whoever gets him is getting a bargain.

Klopp used to get heavily criticised for his use of subs. The reality was that he didn't think they were ready and so was sparing in the minutes they got. i'd think you should give Ole a chance to ease the youngsters in. He will be watching them in training to see if they are ready (and some might never be) but throwing them in before they are ready won't necessarily help their development.

Wan-Bissaka would be a very good buy for you guys. Prob the only RB who managed to cope with Mane this year. Would be a major upgrade for that position for you. And considering he is british, you have to expect silly money for him.

I think the biggest thing holding you back atm is OGS. Look at how well organised Chelsea were when they went a man down against Liverpool - each player knew what they were doing and Tuchel's subs were spot on.

I think Mikey might be on the right track. Klopp likes to press high but you guys don't need to follow that. Just need to work out what style best suits the way you want to play and then work towards it. But would require the backing of the management (did someone mention Woodward? ) and patience. It won't come overnight - I mean we still haven't won anything and Klopp has been in charge for a few years now.

Barcelona have long stopped doing things Cruyff's way - which is one of the reasons why they are not the force they used to be.
{Ed0333's Note - I agree mate.

Its not all doom and gloom. 3 years ago, our defence was arguably as bad as yours and we had a worse gk. In fact, you do have the makings of a decent defence but you need to buy smart and shift on those who aren't good enough for the level you want to be at. An older CB such as Alderweireld (or perhaps Godin if you want to play a deep line) would prob work wonders with your younger backs. But I think bohzman nailed it - what happens next for you guys depends on how the Glazers see the club.

Players like Cantona used to do extras and it showed on the field. Atm it looks like you have too many players who don't look interested in putting it in on or off the field. If they were performing then I reckon you have a point about it being fine. But atm, they need to buckle down and show that they wish to fight. Btw, Fergie wasnt a fan of players having off field distractions.
