So what do we need in the summer....

Anderson and Gibbs White.
New right back and a back up striker please.
Marmoush is not good enough.

I'd be interested in a quality striker partnership with Haaland. Maybe taking some of the heat off of him would result in more consistency?

Yes. He often scores multiple goals but there’s also runs of matches where he gets none. Perhaps having a good partner would draw attention away from him. Conversely, if it does not, he won't have to be the only one scoring goals for us.
 
Need a new midfield with or without Rodri.

Hopefully with.

Need pep to make up his mind and if he has already, wait for that without the media ruining it.

The club is in great hands. We should be grateful.
 
RB, LB, 2 Midfielders and a Striker (plus a keeper when one of the 2 leave). Get rid of deadwood Lewis, Reijnders, Savinho, Marmoush, Gonzales

I agree with the need for a dynamic midfield next year but let’s not lose sight of the fact that tonight a team that played 3 games in 9 days was given a chasing by a team who had 10 days rest.

We’d need ‘double’ strength Liverpool inhalers to overcome that, whoever was in midfield.

The midfield we're given a chasing because the 3 that started had no pace and would still have had no pace even with 2 weeks rest.
 
1. Buy a right sided attacker....Sav is shit....there is no chance he ever makes it with us.....he needs to eb first out the door. .....And it will be very unpopular but Semenyo is never going to be good enough to usurp Haaland so where does he fit.....is he really good enough to play right sided attack.....his eye for goal is world class but the rest of his game is not on par.

2 We need another centre half.......Khusa. Gvardiol Guehi are all more than decent....BUt Dias i think needs replacing along with Stones and Ake (obviously)- all depends on Victor Reis and his development

3. MIDFIELD - needs an overhaul...Rodri is still top BUT for how long....he is struggling at times and I dont think there is much left in the tank....we need to plan NOW for his leaving/downturn that we will inevitably see....Kova, Bernardo both leaving or need to leave.....Phillips off the wage books .....Decision needed on Nico G urgently.....Think we need at least 2 midfielders - Pace, defensive awareness and strength are all requirements in this area - Anderson fits the bill but we need someone else

4. A second left back and right back........this firstly allows for NOR to be used more as a midfielder.....it also puts pressure on RAN who is not convincing for me (defensively).....Nunes needs competition at least.

5. Clear the players we dont need - get Stones, Ake, Grealish, Phillips, Marmoush, Lewis, reijnders (never ever going to be good enough) off the books - plus others
 
I think one of our issues if Pep does leave is that the players on the fringes/ who have disappointed - Reinjders, Marmoush, Savinho etc - might want to stay and prove themselves to a new coach, it’s a new opportunity for them.
 
I'd say the midfield's our biggest problem. We are losing a key player in Bernardo and Reijnders has so far not proven to be good enough. No clue where Gonzalez's future stand, but we have to stop relying on Rodri so much.

We finished up with a decent season out of Nunes but he should be a back-up RB, at best.

Nunes had a decent season? non-city fans are correctly putting him in team of the year votes despite him getting hardly any media attention yet you think he was only decent and is only good enough to be a backup at best. Have you actually watched us this season? Insanely inaccurate description, comfortably top 3 best players for us this season.

That Reijnders and Gonzalez didn’t play today says so much about Pep’s opinion of them.
 
Surely the only area we need to strengthen is in the wrestling department for set pieces? Worked for the arsends!!!!
 
A proper LB so we can utilize O'Reilly's athleticism in Midfield. Anderson is an absolute must. A good solid back up RB. And lastly a decent back up for Haaland.
Probably need a new back up Goalie. Wouldn't be sad to see any of Savinho, Ait Nouri, reijnders, Nico G, Marmoush, kovacic, Lewis, Grealish, Phillips or even Dias sold. Obviously fully understand that isn't Championship Manager and its not going to happen all this summer but for me they are the players that now need to be fazed out now.
