What rebuild? Why Liverpool might struggle this season

The season has begun, and the matches are fast approaching. Liverpool's proven itself to be the best in terms of quality, aggression, precision finishing and above all that it can compete with Manchester City. organization.

Witnessing the Reds comeback wins against Newcastle United with a man down and their excellent display against Bournemouth is fair to say Liverpool will be closet rivals to Manchester City.

In some quotas it is true, but false in the calculation of risk. Is this season's Liverpool squad really deep enough to win a championship? They're not. No, they're not.

If Mac Alister and Dominik Szoboszlai were to get hurt, which would rule them out for two or three months, the midfield could be revamped, but what happens? The Reds will lose the speed, aggression, confrontationality, creativity and goal threat they offer in an instant.

No doubt, Gravabech and Endo can offer some respite in attack and defense, but they're not title winning players. On defense, there's not a sufficient replacement in the left back post for Liverpool.

If Trent Alexander Arnold and Joe Gomez were to miss several months, it would pose an issue for the position of Right Back. It's going to expose Liverpool in a big way. In this context, Liverpool is only four players away from falling into the abyss.

Nobody wants that to see that happen but by judging the present squad it's safe to say the Reds might struggle this season if Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team fail to sign more players in the January transfer window to offer them the needed buffer required to challenge Manchester City to the Premier League title and others.

First thought that will undoubtedly come to mind is the students' financial and economic struggles as a result of the badly managed government. Nigeria's current problems include bribery and corruption, senile leadership, food insecurity, inflation, fuel difficulties, Forex challenges, and, most cruelly, widespread thievery by public officials. Second thought could be social, or peer pressure, emotional blackmail or relationship matters. Third reason is the radical policy of the incumbent president Bola Ahmed Tinubu who ensured subsidized education was eradicated and replaced with student loan. But the major reason which has contributed more deaths than the aforementioned is the role of lecturers and other public officials in the educational system. Do you know that once a student is admitt...

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed. Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately. Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given. The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...
