Right back needs emergency action

Liverpool may be the Premier League champion, but is still in the team, and it's not just the right-back position. exist Daily Red PodcastDave Hendrick raised strong concerns about Connor Bradley’s durability: “I’m not saying Connor Bradley is vulnerable to injury, but the little guy misses more games than he played for us.” Although Bradley’s potential is not deprived, Hendrick warns that recurring, ankle and hamstring issues are “very worrying” as players expected to explode in a 1V1 situation.

In Hendrick's words, the need for a new right-back is "absolute negligence from Richard Hughes and Co, if ignored". Suggestions Jarell Quansah or Joe Gomez can fill out: "Quansah can't play there, he can sit there, he can't play there. "Liverpool's future uncertainty about Gomez, "need to buy a right-back this summer."

Morgan Rogers: Very suitable for slot machine systems

Hendrick moved to Liverpool's offensive future, agreeing to Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, whose name recently appeared through transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano. Despite the unwise nature of around potential transaction complications - Hendrick's financial juggling performance under PSR restrictions: "Morgan Rogers will be an incredible signing for us."

Hendrick tied the 21-year-old directly to Arne Slot's tactical style, referring to the use of the "Wing-10 Hybrid" character on Feyenoord: "Rogers are tailored for the character...he can also fill in 10." This versatility adds appeal, allowing Liverpool to spin between Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Rogers himself as required by the fixture.

Squad reorganization: expenditure on funding for future

Hendrick didn't shy away from bold suggestions about reshaping the team. He proposed a scenario in which Luis Díaz and Harvey Elliott raised funds for Rogers and promoted young people like Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha: "Someone really thinks we really think we'll be worse by swapping Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott for Morgan Rogers, Rio and Trey?"

Hendrick believes that these additions will strengthen the team and lay the foundation for the next few years. “You are in much better shape now and in the future…this could be the core group for the next three to four years.”

There is no emotional space in future plans

Hendrick made it clear that reputation or past performances would not affect his vision for Liverpool's next chapter. Harvey Elliott's Premier League meeting minutes this season were few: "He doesn't play. He just doesn't play... less than 200 minutes in the Premier League." So if it's sold, the idea of ​​a replacement needs to be fired.

Likewise, he bluntly evaluated the loan spell of Spain's Stefan Bajčetić, dismissing the topic of "Rave Reviews" with the mythical production of Liverpool fans. "He didn't play particularly well with Las Palmas... His pass numbers are cruel... There is obviously talent there, but the idea that he is a Liverpool player is just crazy."

Final Thoughts: Rogers and Walton

The outstanding offer sums up the importance of Hendrick’s position on the club’s summer ambitions: “If Morgan Rogers wins, we should do everything we can. For Hendrick, these are not only wise signings, but also seeds for Liverpool’s next great team.
