Liverpool will strengthen their squad in the summer and there's one position that continues to nag away at supporters

While the Reds knew at the end of last term they'd be losing James Milner, that Fabinho also jumped ship to the Saudi Pro League threw a significant spanner in the works for Jurgen Klopp, even if the offer was simply too good to turn down for both player and club.
Circumstances dictated the Reds weren't able to fully commit to a regular defensive midfielder. In the Premier League, Endo started 20 games in the position while Mac Allister managed 17, with Joe Gomez filling in for the win at Nottingham Forest in March. Even taking that into account, Henderson started only five league games in a deeper midfield role, Thiago Alcantara three and Curtis Jones once. Milner didn't begin any. Bajectic, surprisingly, only started two Premier League matches as a defensive midfielder, perhaps a reminder of why the teenager remains very much a work in progress and shouldn't assume too much responsibility in such a key role in the next few years.
