Jurgen Klopp has described the latest iteration of his squad as “Liverpool FC reloaded” when discussing a summer of movement at Anfield.
It has been a busy few months for the Reds, with a number of established players making way for the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Moises Caicedo looking set to follow.
In his pre-Chelsea press conference, the manager was asked about whether the overall personality of the squad is likely to be different this season following the departures of numerous key figures.
“We have to grow into [the changes], it didn’t happen seven or eight years ago with Hendo or whenever it was and it will not happen now,” the boss explained to the media.
“We don’t always have to say ‘but Millie would have said that, Hendo would have said that and Hendo would have shouted here.’
