Saw this somewhere and thought it was an interesting date Simply rate the three mentioned in order 1. Mane 2. Coutinho 3. Firmino
All 3 are different players but I'd say Firmino is the first player that Klopp's picks for the first XI. He's possibly the closest player (in terms of style) we could have got to replace Suarez.
For me 1. Mane 100%. Best lfc signing since suarez came. 2. Just just about... countinho. He's dropping though. Needs consistency but has fabulous goals and free kicks to him. 3. Firmino. Has stepped up so far, very close. He was very very calm in the finishes yesterday. If he gets 20 goals he will be no 2 without question.
1. Firmino; he is the lynchpin to our team 2. Mane; we need is pace, we're shocking without it 3. Coutinho; quality but not convinced he'll fit Klopp's long term plans
well... not henderson unless he miskicks it Its hard actually to tell if he meant to kick it that way or not he's that bad at shooting I say let can go box to box and keep him back there as far from the goals as possible.
Tricky as different players. At the moment, Mane is probably the most important to way we are playing. Firm is probably most of a goal threat out the 3. Cout when in form is probably most dangerous in terms of creativity though.
So far coutinho has only played all of 15 mins in 4 games really well.. chelsea better get worried. Hes due a purple patch.
Coutinho seems to play much better once he scores a goal. Before that, it's as if he's trying to do too much.
Firmy and Mane are of equal importance for me, maybe Firmy gets the no.1 spot as he's been here longer Coutinho I'm still very much on the fence about, sure he's scored some amazing wunderbar golazzos for us but he disappears for time and is like a 1 in 7 sort of player, plus he seems weak of body and in the mind
First name on teamsheet = mane Second matip Third firmino currently Fourth.... not sure theres quite a few that are vying for it clyne, can.. milner... Really what klopp has done is find a way to get milner in there. Our first 11 probably only has 1/2 decisions to make currently... midfield and attack right now where does can and coutinho come in. Picks itself really.
Firmino is the most important player currently. His positional play let's the likes of Mane do their thing. Tough call because they are all vital to the way the other one plays. Brilliant 4 players to have (I'm including Lallana as he's turning into a top top player too).
Moving lallana from a poor rw to a good rcm has been very positive thus far. If he can keep it up for a good stretch of season. Honestly it looks like coutinho or sturridge at the minute with origi not getting a sniff and in midfield I'm not sure currently who gets dicked when can returns. All in all there's a decent hard working 11 here even with milner at lb which isn't ideal but seems to work when we have the ball. I want to see what they do when hull and Swansea play us.. if both sit off us we have to show a bit more guile than the Burnley abandonment of the plan.
Coutinho is definitely the worst left half we've ever bought. I think Klopp should try him in the # 10 role instead.
