Liverpool FC Squad, Team, All Players 2017/2018

Liverpool FC Squad 2017-2018 – First Team 2017-18

Liverpool FC new player in and out 2017-18. Here is the Liverpool FC Squad 2017-18. The January transfer window 2018 is closed and the Summer transfer window 2018 approaching in a few months and we have the full Liverpool transfers list 2018 with all Liverpool new player signings 2017/18. 

Liverpool had a very good 2016/17 by their recent standards. For just the second time in 7 seasons, the Reds finished in the top 4 of the Premier League and qualified for Champions League football next season. This is a fantastic achievement for Jurgen Klopp and his team, who finished 8th in the league last season and had a positive net spent in the summer, as you can read in the transfers list above. Until injuries and other absences, they were challenging for the Premier League title, but that eventually ran out of steam. They had a terrible run of form in January which saw their title challenge disintegrate, but still managed a top 4 finish.

Liverpool FC Squad Targets 2017/18

In the 2017/18 season, Liverpool will look to perhaps challenge for the league title, as well as get through to the knockout stages of the Champions League. This could prove difficult to do both if they don’t make quite a few signings this summer. Last summer, they bought some quality players such as Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum. However, they sold a lot of players and as a result were left quite thin as a squad once a few injuries hit the squad. This is something they must look to improve upon if they are to compete both domestically and in the Champions League in the 2017/18 season.

They have made some big money signings this season including signing Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton, a commanding central defender. They have also signed Naby Keita, from RB Leipzig for next season, and Mohammed Salah, from AS Roma who has done a fantastic job for Liverpool this season. All of these players would be great additions to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team.

Some of the new Liverpool players signed 2018 are well paid. Take a look at the our list with Liverpool Players Salaries 2018 and you will see the who the highest paid Liverpool Players are during the 2017-18 season.

Liverpool FC Squad First Team 2017-18

The Liverpool FC squad 2017-18 season will consist of these players. Below you will find all Liverpool goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards.

Liverpool Goalkeepers 2017-18

Here are all Liverpool First team goalkeepers 2016/17:

• Loris Karius
• Simon Mignolet
• Danny Ward

The main goalkeeper at Liverpool FC is Simon Mignolet, however he was dropped at the beginning of the season for German keeper Loris Karius. However, when Karius started to make errors, Mignolet was reinstated as the no.1, and his form has dramatically improved since. He made some outstanding saves in the back-end of the season which went towards Liverpool securing a top 4 place and a spot in the Champions League next season. The young keeper Danny Ward had a great season out on loan for Huddersfield Town, helping the side get promoted from the Championship to the Premier League. There were rumours of him going out for another loan for the 2017/18 season, however this has not yet materialised.

Liverpool Defenders 2017-18

Here are all Liverpool First team defenders 2017/18:

• Nathaniel Clyne
• Dejan Lovren
• Joe Gomez
• Ragnar Klavan
• Alberto Moreno
• Andrew Robertson
• Joel Matip
• Trent Alexander-Arnold
• Virgil Van Dijk

Some have had a lot more time on the pitch than others. Liverpool have signed a very good full-back in Andrew Robertson while Gomez is still young and has been a revelation for Liverpool this season.

The Reds signed Estonia captain Ragnar Klavan last summer for £4.7million, he came in as defensive cover for Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren, who proved to be Klopp’s first-choice centre-back pairing this season. In the summer of 2017, Klopp has signed young left-back Andrew Robertson, from Hull City. The defender was signed to compete with Alberto Moreno and James Milner for the role.

The big signing has been Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton. He could well be important for the Reds in the coming seasons.

Liverpool Midfielders 2017-18

Here are all Liverpool First team midfielders 2017/18:

• Georgino Wijnaldum
• James Milner
• Jordan Henderson
• Adam Lallana
• Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
• Emre Can

The big addition to Liverpool’s midfield last summer was the £25million purchase of Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle. Many doubted Wijnaldum’s ability when he arrived but he has performed superbly over the course of his debut season. James Milner, despite being a midfielder by trade, was often used at left-back this season. This was down to the poor form of Alberto Moreno. When Milner was instated there, he started to adapt to the role well, so played there for the majority of the season. The captain, Jordan Henderson, has had an injury-plagued campaign. He has missed large spells but when he has played, has been very impressive.

Liverpool sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in January 2018 for big money but have yet to replace him. The Reds also signed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal late in the window, who will add creativity and versatility to Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Liverpool Forwards 2017-18

Here are all Liverpool First team forwards 2016/17:

•  Roberto Firmino
•  Mo Salah
•  Sadio Mané
•  Danny Ings
•  Dom Solanke
•  Ben Woodburn

As you can see, the Liverpool FC First team 2017/18 forwards are in this list. All the strikers had a part to play in the past season, but it is clear to everyone that some have been more important than others. Roberto Firmino in particular has really stepped up to the plate recently, and was rewarded with the #9 shirt for the current campaign.

After a 9 month spell on the sidelines, Danny Ings returned from injury. However, he only badly damaged the other knee, and will once again be on the treatment table for a long time. He was starting to become a fan favourite at Anfield. Sadio Mané has been the star man in attack, and his importance to the team was really highlighted in January when the team’s form suffered during his time at the AFCON.

The signing of Dom Solanke provides good cover for the Liverpool attack. Liverpool’s other forward signing, Mo Salah, has possibly been the signing of the season though after scoring 21 goals in the Premier League so far.
