Dave Davis and David Lynch take a forensic look at Liverpool’s squad following the closure of the transfer window, with attention turning towards one position that could become a major talking point under Andoni Iraola.
Reports of a late Liverpool approach for Chelsea’s Malo Gusto prompt a wider discussion about the club’s options at right back. Lynch explains why he has concerns over Jeremie Frimpong’s suitability, while the fitness records of Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez add further uncertainty to Liverpool’s plans.
The discussion also examines Liverpool’s approach to youth recruitment, the highly rated Luca Bruggemann, Giorgi Mamardashvili’s future and why the Reds appear increasingly determined to recruit elite young talent before their valuations explode.
Dave and David then assess whether midfield should have been strengthened, why Lynch believes some of Liverpool’s problems in that area could be solved within Iraola’s system, and why the full back positions currently represent his greater concern.
With the transfer window closed, Liverpool have made their decisions. Now Iraola has to make the pieces fit.
