Liverpool stand just nine games away from an unprecedented quadruple and Jurgen Klopp is in no doubt that the strength of his squad has played a crucial role in their successes.
Despite having already lifted the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League the year after, the Reds boss thinks the 2022 vintage is the strongest and most complete. “Of course, it is,” Klopp said when asked if this is the best squad he’s had at Anfield. “We had this strong squad, they were just unavailable. Now they are available. That makes it the squad that we always wanted to have.”
Having been down to the bare bones last season, Klopp has had the luxury of rotating players in and out of his starting lineup, without the inevitable dips in quality. Kostas Tsimikas is one of those players on the sidelines, but ready to step in when called upon.
