    I Think at Brighton when he’s been deeper he’s been part of a double pivot alongside caicedo so remains to be seen how he’d do on his own in a deeper role and being expected to make tackles with players running at him. That’s where fab excelled in first 3/4 years for us.

    Mac has generally been better breaking up play on the front foot so I can’t see him being deployed in that line DM role. Would slot in perfectly at lcm or slightly higher in this new box midfield

    No way we will be able to consider Thiago a main starter just because it's too injury prone

    If Trent Alexander-Arnold is coming to play in the midfield permanently next season, it's getting complicated some players may have to settle for the bench.

    forget thiago imo.

    klopp said one key point during this last run. the key to getting into this side is counter pressing

    he dropped nunez
    he dropped Elliott

    he picked Jones
    he moved trent
    he picked jota until injured
    he picked diaz

    Yes these types will be the go to, hopefully add another that will push to start then our options on the bench are very strong and we also don’t drop in quality when injuries occur

    Everton forward Neal Maupay has hinted that Khephren Thuram is close to becoming a Liverpool player.
    The 22-year-old midfielder, who is the son of legendary French defender Lilian Thuram, enjoyed an impressive campaign for Nice this season. Thuram featured in 35 Ligue 1 games, scoring twice and claiming four assists.

    I think you are all right
    I think he is genuine world class but sadly doesn’t really fit our system
    And when we alter our style to accommodate him we very quickly become dependent on him
    Then he gets injured and we are screwed

    That used to be the case but the French have got lazy. I do like a good Corbieres though.
