Peter Crouch has detailed how Jurgen Klopp addressed criticism over Liverpool's lack of squad depth last season to now rival Manchester City's wealth of options.
The former Reds striker reckons that the additions of Ibrahima Konate and Luis Diaz, who both started their Champions League semi-final first leg against Villarreal on Wednesday, have been vital to Liverpool's hunt for a quadruple and recovery from a campaign which saw them decimated by injuries.
Having lost Virgil van Dijk and other key players for long periods last term, Klopp and co bolstered the roster to great effect in the last summer and January transfer windows, as Crouch explained on BT Sport: "Without a doubt, they have improved the squad. You look at the bench and even today, they are missing (Roberto) Firmino but they still have an incredible bench, and you can see that with the number of changes that they have made today.
