I don't think CB is nearly as much as a problem as its being made out to be, especially if the reports of Matip signing on a free this summer end up being true. Lovren has improved by leaps and bounds under Klopp, and between Skrtel, Sakho, Matip, Gomez, and Ilori there is a nice blend of experience and potential.
I think the defensive issues come from a keeper who can't command his area, a LB who can't defend, and the lack of a defensive presence in midfield. Can looks like he could fill that role in time, but he is still quite raw at this point. Danny Ward just returned from a really successful loan spell, so hopefully he can actually push Migs for the #1 keeper spot.
What we really need this summer is a player who can control the midfield, and an attacking player or two who can create and score goals. Unfortunately those are the two most difficult and expensive positions to fill.
