Probably right re having a better GK for the season as it would have spread confidence through the team.
But I don’t recall GK being a particular weakness that season - perhaps I’ve been conditioned by a few seasons of Bazunu -and it was a long time ago. Katalinic for example played out of his skin at Anfield.
My recollection is that out transfer focus was strikers, (especially with KK injury concerns).Hence the Trevor Francis link, and deadline day signing of Keith Cassells. Wright coming as well of course.
