I am sure we all know the likes of Henderson, Milner and Thiago are 30yrs and over, and playing a full season at the itensity Klopp demands will take its toll on them; you could add firmino as another since he's 30 plus and can drop into mf from his false 9 role.
Klopp is all over this and as we know has brought in Carvalho and Elliott whilst promoting Curtis and I expect all three to play a huge part in Liverpools MF this season. I can even see Carvalho and Elliott starting in front of Henderson and Thiago for some big games, say Vs Utd or even City.
Elliott would fit the right side and link with TAA and Salah whilst Carvalho will just sit to the left of Elliott in front of Fabinho...that mf has legs and whilst it's young it's full of skill.
Anyone any thoughts on the mf set up?
The MF evolution..

On the mf...I'm hoping that gini comes back, for me it's a no brainer. Liked at liverpool by all accounts and obvs knows the Klopp system, get him on loan for the year then get Bellingham after his loan is finished.
Gini is a quality player and would cover the injuries that are inevitable to Thiago. .AOC...I believe Ox is out now with injury!!!

Big no to Wij

Jones blows too hot and cold for me. I do like him and he’s quality at times like. Suppose injuries and being on the bench will mess with a player though

It's very difficult to say as of today.
Klopp has not revealed his first choice this season yet.
Fabinho is obviously no 6.
Thiago is the main lcm imo.
I am not so sure about keita, henderson, Elliott.
Klopp has many options here. But at some point these kids have to grab the shirt or not. Then we will see.

I accept I’m basing my view on very limited viewing of Bejcetic, but for me he’s got to be considered good enough for the squad. He may not feature against a top six club/EC/etc., but he should be in the mix.

a nice steal but very young still.
given we were actively looking at loaning out tyler morton but have now paused that for the money due to "injuries"
this suggests that Thiago Alcantara, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. are seen as a tiny bit light.
Ox is clearly out with hamstring but is anyone else struggling right now?
Bajetic is seen as a CB who can play no 6 so having morton held may suggest morton is seen as no 8 cover by klopp?
in any event the 9 man bench plus 5 subs may help these player's causes.

Aren't you in for Bellingham?
