Starters & Formation

"Unless he scores 3 goals and 2 man of the match performances in his first 3 games"

He'll do all that in one match.

Problem with Liverpool fans is that we are so ruthlessly unforgiving after a few bad performances and get on players' backs so quickly.

I worry that might happen to Keita if he joins, 22 with only one season at RB Leipzig and a £70m price tag round his neck.

Just can't see it ending well!

Top 10 and Away team

Mig
Clyne. Matip. Lovren/vdv. Milner
Hendo
Lallana. Kieta/can/wij
Mane. Firm. Cout
------------------
Home against bottom 10/teams that will sit in so including utd

Mig
Clyne. Matip. Lovren/vdv. Milner
Hendo
Lallana. Cout

Mane. Firm. Salah

Coutinho's invention from deep and salahs pace will offer a great option against teams with a low block this season.

Not having lallana or hendo in either team would be crazy in my opinion as when fit they were the catalyst for our fluid, fast passing, pressing game.

But of course when 5 of the starting 11 are injured by october this will all be irrelevant 😖

Goals from all over the pitch in that team.

Just need to stop conceding them too.

If we do sign Keita - does that spell the end for Hendo's captaincy?

Why would it?

From what the Echo has said this Coutinho to midfield thing is a bit of a misnomer.

He may play there in some games but he's not seen as permanently moving to that position. He's likely to play on the left as often.

I have a feeling Mane may start the season on the bench with him not yet being fully fit to play in pre-season games.

We should see a bit more rotation with our attacking options and a lot of the players can and will play in different positions.
