2018/19 season quiz: How many points did Jurgen Klopp's side accumulate in the Premier League?

The report claims that Jurgen Klopp will opt against signing a right-back when the transfer window opens due to his faith in Neco Williams.

It also added that Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott could also have big roles to play in the near future.

This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this latest development.

Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

Is Neco Williams ready to be TAA's back-up?

Williams has made five appearances for the Liverpool senior team so far this season, four in the FA Cup and one in the Carabao Cup. These five appearances saw the 19-year-old right-back provide three assists along the way (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that it is unlikely Klopp will be signing a new right-back this summer due to his belief in Williams, this news excited a lot of Liverpool fans who were not shy in airing their delight on Twitter.

What do we think?

It’s great to hear that Klopp has the confidence and faith in Williams to play more regularly in the Reds’ senior squad next season. The response to this news just goes to show how excited these Liverpool fans are at the thought of Williams playing for the first team in the near future.
