One of the main accusations levelled at Liverpool during a season of underperformance is how they have allowed themselves to stagnate.
To many, the Reds have too often declined the opportunity to refresh and replenish their options significantly at key junctures and a quick glance at the makeup of the squad at Jurgen Klopp's disposal backs up that theory to an extent.
Six of the starting line-up from May's Champions League final were signed between 2016-18, while Jordan Henderson joined well over a decade ago, back in June 2011. This season, players like Andy Robertson (2017), Virgil van Dijk and Alisson (both 2018) remain vital to Klopp, while 2017 addition Mohamed Salah was handed the biggest contract in club history last summer having just turned 30.
