This is going to be a very different team next season.
Liverpool has done a good job of rotating their squad and trying to stay in that prime age group.

They have been able to build a new core with Van Dijk and Salah getting older, and TAA on his way out.

Mac Allister - 26
Konate - 26
Gakpo - 26
Szoboszlai - 24
Frimpong - 24
Jones - 24
Gravenberch - 23
Wirtz - 22
Kerkez - 21
Bradley - 21

I hate Liverpool but their management is actually putting the other teams to shame in terms of their ability to continually identify and build a roster.

It’s so sad. My heart goes out to him and his family.

I just learned that his brother was the passenger who died along with him. Just horrific.

His family had experienced so much joy recently and to have this happen is brutally sad.

Awful news.

It might be crass but wonder what this means for Darwin Nunez. Will Liverpool still want to offload him?

Same age as Dražen Petrović, and similar circumstances. What a horrible tragedy.
