Liverpool just experienced an unbelievable victory over Newcastle in the 3rd round. Despite being led and playing few people, Liverpool were still determined to win 3 points. But look at the squad Liverpool needs to be better at now to compete with the big teams. So, they must try to bring in some quality rookies before the transfer market closes. Their defense still needs to be stronger. Typically, in the last match, Trent Alexander-Arnold made mistakes. The void reappears. Therefore, Klopp needs more cover for the defensive midfielders and the flanks.

What a crazy game it was! The most important thing is they managed to grab three points, but to be honest the match wasn't easy to deal. So now, Liverpool really needs to roll up their players and make their team stronger. It could really help if they bring in some good players before the transfer window closes. Right now, their squad is one of the smallest in the Premier League. But we know that it's not just about having tons of players, it's about having the right ones. anyway, Klopp should definitely pay some extra attention to level up their defense.

I appreciate Liverpool this season. They can return to challenge Man City in the championship race. They are keeping an eye on Ryan Gravenberch and Kalvin Phillips. These are two names worth upgrading their defense. This week, they will try to bring in another defender or midfielder. If that happens, Liverpool could still be Man City's most formidable opponent this season.

I appreciate this view about Liverpool, just like I wrote yesterday, they are better than they even look and time will tell more about them. There is no club without their challenging times but I believe they are getting out of it and are surely one of the good contenders this time. They started doing better before the end of last season and I could see that Klopp has made some adjustments this time as well. And before the window closes, WilFriend Ndidi might be added as well, and if the guy performs as expected, it will be a very good strength for the centre defence.

But for Mohamed Salah, I hope his departure will not be a problem. The rumour and unconfirmed news is that he will be leaving latest by next week for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. The undisclosed amount offered to him was claimed to be irresistible. And he's a guy who has achieved a lot already, so going to SPL at age 31 will not be a mistake again. Who knows when he's planning to retire?

The Liverpool team looks in shape from their played matches already, although it's still a few games too early, to conclude that they might have an impressive run this season.
With the news of Salah making a move to Saudi Pro League side, the attacking options for Liverpool is not yet settled.
Endo was recently signed from Stuttgart and while he is a defensive midfielder by trade, he can also operate at centre-back if needed and can help bring the best out of fellow summer arrivals Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, as well as Thiago Alcantara when he returns from his injury spell.
Besides this, I think klopp still got work to do in getting the team more organized and settled into their new positions.
