It’s no secret that Liverpool’s midfielder has been the main reason for their return to the table this season. The additions of Dominik Soboslay, Alexis McAllister, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenbirch have significantly improved the Reds’ trophy haul this year and with just over 50% of the league season remaining, it’s safe to say Jurgen Klopp will do just that.
Drive under the hood once again with the goal of finishing the final season on a high.After a minor injury crisis at the position in the off-season, the Reds were looking to rebuild their midfield depth, mainly due to the return of Wataru Endo from international duty.
The club was revitalized by the return of Szoboszlay and Thiago Alcantara, but rumors of the pair’s return were put to rest with both players suffering injuries shortly after their return.
So what happens to tomatoes? The club is in better shape than it was in the offseason, especially with its personnel.Curtis Jones and Alexis McAllister are also in top form, and with Endo back in action, Liverpool could end up with the only defensive midfielder in the squad. The likes of Ryan Gravenbirch and Harvey Elliott have certainly struggled to find form and regular starting places, but both offer Jurgen Klopp a unique option off the bench.Both can be expected to have more opportunities to prove their worth, especially as the Reds continue to chase four major trophies.
With United still in the title race, the League Cup final, Europa League and FA Cup in sight, a healthy and consistent midfield will no doubt be vital for the Reds to win. Achieve your goals this season.Hopefully the progress shown in this area in the first half of the season will continue into the final leg of Klopp’s farewell tour.
