A decent win away from home and a draw with Watford to start the season, what have you made of the first two games?

Firstly, I’ll start with the first away game of the season against Watford and our marking from set-pieces has still hasn’t improved.

We have had all pre-season to work on this matter and this cost us massively last year in terms of pushing for the title. Zonal marking needs to be worked on or scrapped as the first goal we conceded last Saturday was a disgrace with Okaka being left free in the box alone which left Mignolet no chance to save.

It was the same with third goal which Wijnaldum should have dealt with in a much better manner. If anything, this should tell Klopp to look into reinforcements in the transfer market as this problem at the back needs to solved as soon as possible.

Now going on to positives of that game, our front three proved why they are vital as Mané and Salah’s pace was far too much for Watford’s back line. They all have the goalscoring abilities which can help us push for the title this season.

Hoffenhiem was a great win for us and the two away goals will be a massive advantage. One of the standout players of the night was Mignolet who made several vital saves.

Another standout highlight was the sublime free-kick goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold. For Klopp to have trust in the youngster tell us he has a big future.

How can Liverpool fix their leaky defence?

Last season told us that our back four make way too many mistakes for a team of our quality.

I disagree with what Klopp said in a interview the other week saying “we have four defenders”, basically saying he has enough defenders. The key would be to sign one or two centre-backs.

We have been linked to van Dijk for a while and still no bid has been made and the player is eager to join us. If we sign van Dijk, he can be the key to our defensive problems.

Crystal Palace have been something of a bogey team for the Reds' in recent seasons, how do you think the game will unfold this weekend?

The fact Liverpool have failed to beat Crystal Palace in the past three meetings at Anfield is a disgrace. Most Palace's goals come from open play crosses or set-pieces which our defence struggles to deal with.

The main danger for Crystal Palace is former Red Benteke so our defence can not take their eye off him or they will know the consequences.

But I think Liverpool will push for the win here and will take the win home with them. Also the front three will be in full shape making it hard for the Palace back line to catch Salah or Mané.

As with it being the first home game of the season, the fans will be full force behind them which will surely uplift the sprits.

Plenty of speculation over the future of Philippe Coutinho, Virgil van Dijk and more, what do the Reds need to do in the remainder of the transfer window?

Starting with Coutinho I think for him to hand a transfer request in is selfish as he is the highest-paid player at Liverpool and the Reds have treated him the best they can.

Personally I think Klopp will hold out for the Brazilian another season and help us push for the title as I now think it’s too late to replace him this transfer window.

Now going on to Van Dijk, which has dragged on for a while, I think the Reds need to put a bid on the table for the Netherlands international and hope Southampton can put the past behind them and move on.

The Reds need to sign a high profile centre-back and potentially another top-quality midfielder which can give the midfield more versatility.

I also think Liverpool are waiting until they know they are guaranteed Champions League football so they can attract their top transfer targets and hopefully lure them into signing a deal with the Reds.

Again this will happen if FSG give Klopp the funds to buy his top targets. September 1 will tell the fans if our squad is strong enough as depth is essential.

Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a wonderful goal in midweek and put in an excellent all-round performance, how excited are you about the youngster?

Yes indeed, the goal Trent Alexander-Arnold scored midweek will be a goal he will never forget and always be with him.

I am very excited to see what more he can provide for the Reds this season especially as he can whip a perfect ball into the box for one of his team-mates to attack.

Steven Gerrard spoke highly of the young man and words coming from a Liverpool legend himself also tells the fans he is going to be very special player for us and be very inspirational to younger Reds.

Any other business?

I think Klopp will making changes to his side hopefully bringing a couple more additions to his squad. But our main focus is signing a high profile centre back to solve our leaky defence.
