Many were pleased with the acquisitions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szobozslai, but perhaps less supportive in the signing of Wataru Endo.
The Reds have been left quite fragile in both the midfield and defensive positions, leaving many supporters questioning the ambition of the owners.

Joe Gomez: A Good Think By Both Parties
Liverpool are back in with a shout of a Champions League spot. Six wins on the bounce, Mo Salah scoring nine in a row at Anfield and United are within a point (albeit with a game in hand). The recent positives are exponential as Trent returns to form, Gakpo looks more like the Bobby replacement every game and Curtis Jones looks to have found his place.
