Liverpool finished their pre-season with a confident win over Cesc Fabregas’s Como at Anfield with Jérémy Jacquet marking his first appearance with a confident assured display, but with the Reds squad still lacking depth and quality and with less than a week until Liverpool travel to Tyneside for their season opener against Newcastle, can Liverpool do what is required in the transfer market to give Andoni Iraola the best chance of having a successfully debut season?
