I will also second the, while Liverpool really have only one or two standout players (Salah, Firmino [who while maybe not the best striker, in this system does the most and brings something unique]), they do have a squad that has a lot of good to very good players. Their starting 11 isn't filled with a boat load of players who are on the teams of the season, and they're not filled with players who will pickup WC medals come Summer time. But, they do have a system, organization and probably most importantly, physicality to their style that works.
I think some of their players have room for growth, and certainly can become more than they are now. Mane, VVD, Robertson, and TAA all have a lot of upside to improve. Ox, was he healthy, has room to improve in Liverpool's system.
It's certainly possible to get to the CL finals or even the WC with some players who are mediocre to poor. It happens. But in this season, it doesn't look like that's the case.
