Jurgen Klopp has looked ahead to Liverpool’s summer rebuild, accepting that “whatever we do,” it would never be enough for fans on social media. The Reds are expected to be backed heavily in the transfer market this summer, which comes at a time when at least three midfielders will depart Anfield. Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and loanee Arthur will leave on the expiry of their contracts, while a decision will be made over the future of James Milner, too. With question marks over the likes of Fabio Carvalho and even the experienced trio of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Thiago, there could be an almighty reshuffle in the works.
Klopp suggested the club would not be as cut-throat as supporters on social media have urged, noting that they will make decisions based on what they know rather than what people on social media say. He laughed at his experiences with replies on social media, noting in particular the release of Liverpool’s teamsheet ahead of the 2-1 win over West Ham. He also identified Curtis Jones as one part of a group that showcases “potential” and noted that this season will help them as they look to go back to big finals and occasions. He concluded by saying that they will need the right players and that’s what they will have.
