I’m still going for a forward because I can’t trust Nunez and Jota. Watching Nunez last night made it look like we were playing with 10 men.
We do have Endo who some dislike and some love (me included). He should be utilised more to ease the burden on Gravenberch.
We have Robbo, Tsimikas and Gomez for LB so that is a summer problem.

Realistically? A DM.
But in all honesty, I would like a 5th CB as well. I wish we had a Matip type in the squad.
I'd be more confident if we signed a 30+ year old CB on an expiring contract, a Gary McAllister type signing.
Like if Tarkowski suddenly was available (sorry).
It's not that I don't rate Gomez, it's just I'm so afraid that we're one injury away from chaos in that position.

Poor Jayden...
I’d be okay with Nunez and Jota out and looking to Danns and another to lead the line.
Me because Nunez is like playing with 10 and Jota will be injured before his Valentine’s Day blowy.
The 2 strikers are either shite or a tampon; we need someone
Bringing in Jorrel Hato now would make sense. LB but can play CB if needed.
My ideal would be another Gomez who can play across the backline. A fifth CB feels overkill (and I trust Quansah, if needs be). 3 left or 3 right backs seem overkill. Again Gomez covers all, but can get injured. And, two injuries at CB (not uncommon) gets really uncomfortable.
Hato may be closest to that from the names that I have seen, although left-sided.

Speaking of Nunez, I wonder if the club are quietly exploring an option of sending him on loan somewhere in January - the best time to sell him is surely in the summer, but we would be in a much stronger negotiating position if he could play somewhere where he fits, score some goals and recover his confidence in the 6 months leading up to Summer. A team playing 2 up top and counter-attacking football would be ideal.
I think there is still a chance that his current form is the nadir and even here at Liverpool he can have a better 2nd half of the season and increase his value. I guess everything depends on how Slot evaluates his prospects and whether we can bring in a replacement in January. If the Olmo deal could materialize, I would ship Nunez to Atalanta in a heartbeat.

I do think Nunez could do with a change of scenery. If he could perform somewhere like he does for his country, we might get decent value for him. With his confidence where it is now, I really doubt that can happen here.
CB? Do you know how tall he is?
Yes, 182 cm will boost us at LB
I honestly don't think he's ready to be our back up LB. Still too young.
Nah, will be 19 in March. 60 games for Ajax already and 5 caps for Holland. He’ll be a star for us. Him and Robbo, sorted.
No DM?
Fair enough. Problem for me is that Slot doesn't play Endo, so Gravvy will be run into the ground.
Which pisses me off because Slot always seems to praise Endo.
just keeping him warm
