    As I said above, if it's already at the semi-final stage, Mane won't come home sooner because there is a third place play-off game

    No true, but at least he'll be back sooner than what we were expecting

    With no injuries or suspensions once Mane returns, it'll be interesting to see whether Klopp reverts to the earlier season team...


    Migs*
    Clyne Matip Lovren Milner
    Lallana Hendo Wijnaldum
    Mane Firmino Coutinho

    * was Karius but I think it'll be Migs​

    Lots of movement up front south all three offering different things. Creativity in midfield with Lallana, plus bags of energy across the trio too. Just need Hendo to sit again.

    Difference is, Can was injured earlier in the season. A few of us were questioning what would happen once he returned but then Lallana got injured

    In all honesty the only player still showing that level of energy is Lallana, the front three look knackered (only basing my opinion of Mane on 2 games I have seen him in the ACON).

    The front three have either been starved (when Lallana gets pushed to RW to cover for the missing Mane meaning the midfield are "functional") or are carrying a passenger (Origi / Studge in terms of high energy pressing ate ****e) whilst our most energetic and effective presser (Firmino) has been shunted out wide.

    I don't believe we miss Mane as a individual. I believe we miss the pace, width and directness he offers. We definitely miss the balance he allows us to have when in the team.

    Yep, missing one player shouldn't mean such a massive re-shuffle that it makes all others in-effective.
    I still think Lallana is the only one showing the energy of early season though.

    Hopefully he will. When Mane left he seemed to suddenly want to change everything, it was one player missing. We should have just put another player with a bit of pace in the team, like Ojo, to keep the balance
