It wasn't a partnership, it was a trio involving Gerrard too. However.... Is Keita the Alonso or Mascherano?
neither imo. will have to wait and see but I reckon he's going to replace coutinho as a no 8 behind the front 3. We will have to wait for the alonos/mascherano types.
I don’t think we will get a DM. I think Klopp wants versatile players who can do everything - tackle, intercept and also create and run with the ball. Explains the Keita deal and links with goretzka and Lemar.
Plus we have Virg now. He'll do everything defensive single-handedly and leave the other 9 to attack.
