What do we think? Did Liverpool do enough to not repeat the start of last season or are they one Mac Allister injury away from disaster?
Overall Liverpool have the talent, but lack the depth required to compete although their attack is phenomenal and should be able to carry them through the season.
I’m worried that with their lineup they lose control of the midfield, and therefore the ability to control games properly. Maybe Trent plays the inverted role to help out with this?
