This window has been a superb one for Liverpool. The club has signed four shiny new players, with Naby Keita, Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri and Alisson Becker all joining. However, the fans have been looking into their front three and have realised that they’re short of depth in behind Sadio Mane on the left-hand side, causing a discussion among the fans over what the club should do.
It’s a fair point, but I do think we’re weak on the left if Sadio Mane gets injured – I really do https://t.co/Vo4L1uVb5i

The club could be tempted to make one more purchase in the transfer window, however, with just one week left before the close of the window that seems unlikely. If hey were to make one final swoop, it could be a big one Well-respected German journalist, Raphael Honigstein claims that Liverpool could try and lure Christian Pulisic to Anfield after the American attacker failed to sign a new deal with Borussia Dortmund and this is a prospect that a lot of fans can get behind.
However, a man that all Liverpool fans know and trust when it comes to breaking transfer news, Paul Joyce of The Times, claims that a move for the young American simply doesn’t stack up. The German club are demanding a fee of around £60 million for the player despite the fact he’s only managed to bag himself seven Bundesliga goals in the last two seasons. This conundrum has left fans looking at other options, although the realistic option is for Shaqiri to be used to deputise on both wings.

Isn’t Shaqiri left footed?

Can’t see it happening at that price. 7 goals in 2 seasons. If klopp had been concerned about cover for mane I think Wilson would have stayed at anfield.

Undoubtedly, I just hope we don't fall prey to injuries…
But I also think klopp will rotate and use different tactics other than the usual giving sturridge and shaqiri more chances..— RRB Majdoor (@rrbmajdoor) August 1, 2018

Jurgen Klopp will know what to do if he loses a man to injury but the Liverpool fans will still be panicking if they lose anyone for a prolonged period of time.
