Interesting watching clip on sky of all his goals/assists.

some key things

Delivers a good corner. Few assists, a couple from brilliant balls in with pace and curl into the front post.

Not afraid to shoot from outside the box/free kicks. Offers us something different from current players in the team.

Quite a few assists where he’s played those little passes behind the last defender either through the middle or around them for forward to tap in even when he could have a shot so definitely not selfish there.

He has done but he’s a CM who’s done a job out there. We won’t be selling any of our current forwards and don’t need another so makes no sense.

I've just got a feeling that one may leave, sneaky feeling it might be Salah too although he's the only right sided forward we have
 
Dominik Szoboszlai is a very good player, he can shoot from outside the box He is similar to our former player now playing for Aston Villa.
 
Hopefully not our new Keita! It does look like, in an inflated market, the club are looking for value….I still think another midfielder is inbound, unless we buy a RB. We lost three.

2 of which rarely played and 1 of which played more at FB than CM last few years.
 
There’s a vid showing minutes played, h th ink was on red men tv.

Pretty much showed that Fab was overworked this season (could explain his huge drop off) and the minutes Keita ox Milner contributed is less than Mac made all season.

In theory with Mac’s increased minutes to cover those squad players, Szobo you’d think getting similar minutes, should allow us to rotate Hendo and fab more often, especially if Bajcetic is available.

fab/bacj for dm (Hendo could also cover).
szobo/Hendo/Elliott for rcm
mac/thiago/Jones for lcm
thats plenty of options for CM with adequate cover.

8 players for 3 positions is a good number, especially when all 8 are of decent quality compared to last year when we had 9/10 players for that but 3 of them just weren’t good enough to use/rotate/ available.

squad shape is pretty defined at this point.

Szoboszlai fills in a Henderson sort role. I don't really mind what people say about rw. thats not his position for klopp as he is right footed yeah?

Yup right footed. His rw posotion last season was bit of a false role I think. Think was more start there but drift massively inside to get involved. All the clips of his goals/assists have him from inside right.

Given the options we have in diaz and Jota that could do a job wide right plus Elliott really don’t see him playing there at all for us.
