Jurgen Klopp finally has a squad capable of returning a domestic cup without compromising on other priorities, according to one former Liverpool player.
The Reds face Championship side Cardiff City at Anfield on Sunday in the FA Cup, having comfortably despatched Shrewsbury Town in the previous round using a mix of first-team players and flourishing youngsters.
With a trip to Wembley in the Carabao Cup final already secured, Jason McAteer believes Liverpool boss Klopp has now built a philosophy so strong that several changes to his starting XI will not necessarily harm the club's chances of progressing deep into knock-out competitions.
