da casino： It has been a disappointing campaign at Anfield, with several of Jurgen Klopp's key men falling short of their usual high standards
da pixbet： Jurgen Klopp says he is glad to see the back of 2022-23, and he isn't the only one. For Liverpool, it was a campaign full of disappointment and frustration, one which ended with them failing to achieve even the 'bare minimum' of Champions League qualification.
A fifth-placed finish represents success to some clubs, but not this one. There will be big changes at Anfield this summer, and rightly so, as Klopp's squad gets the overhaul it probably needed 12 months ago. We know some of the players who will leave, and others will rightly be looking over their shoulder, but who has done enough to be part of the new-look Reds next season?
Here, GOAL ranks each and every member of Klopp's senior squad from the past season…

Farewell, then, Arthur. We barely even got to know you. The Brazilian's Liverpool career amounted to just 13 minutes of senior football, plus a few run-outs for the Under-21s.
Not his fault, of course. The thigh injury suffered in training in the autumn ruined the 26-year-old's chances of establishing himself, but even when he was fit towards the end of the campaign, Klopp declined to use him. A strange signing by Liverpool, one which can safely be filed in the drawer marked 'panic loans'.

He was once one of the hottest prospects in European football, a signing viewed by Liverpool fans as a real game-changer. But Keita's Reds career will finish this summer, and it will be a story of injuries and frustration as much as anything else.
He leaves Anfield on a free transfer, and does so with well-wishes from everyone inside the club. But the Guinea international's last season on Merseyside summed up his five years, really. He spent much of it injured, and the last of his 129 appearances for the club, at Crystal Palace back in February, saw him substituted at half-time.

Another player departing for pastures new this summer is Oxlade-Chamberlain, who like Keita has seen his Reds career decimated by injury. The former England international started this season injured and made only 13 appearances in total.
He did, at least, manage to get on the scoresheet once, albeit in a dire defeat at Brentford in January. His last two outings came, somewhat bizarrely, as a substitute away to Real Madrid and Manchester City.

A hugely frustrating first season in England for the young Scot, who has seen injury limit him to just two senior outings following his switch from Aberdeen last summer.
Ramsay was signed to provide competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold, and there was promise in his one and only start, a Carabao Cup win over Derby County in November, but he needs a good pre-season and a bit more luck if he is to deliver on his promise at Anfield.
