How Liverpool’s squad depth affects their Champions League progression
Watching Liverpool this season made me think more about squad depth than tactics. A few years ago I went to a pub to watch a Champions League game, and back then it felt like we had strong options everywhere. Now, when someone picks up a knock, it immediately raises questions about consistency. I’m wondering how much this actually affects Liverpool’s chances of going through to the last 16. Do rotations help keep players fresh, or does it hurt rhythm when matches come thick and fast?

Looking at the situation calmly, squad depth still seems better than people give it credit for. I was reading https://www.empireofthekop.com/2025/12/11/liverpool-champions-league-last-16-probability/ the other day, and it puts Liverpool’s Champions League outlook into perspective by factoring in fixtures and available players. From my own experience following the club, Liverpool often adapts well when key players are missing, especially in Europe, where tactical discipline matters more than individual brilliance sometimes.
