Serious no wum, the way I see your team developing I would think one of Coutinho or Firmino will be benched next season. Who do you see as the starter and the impact sub?

How do you see us lining up then?

I think you'd have a point if we were to sign someone like Moura, but honestly don't see them being benched otherwise.

------Origi/Sturridge
Coutinho Firmino Mane

I would say that Firmino has more energy and would probably make more impacg coming off the bench than Coutinho would. But both have had patchy form and should need to fight for their place. That said, I think both will start and other players, e.g. Lallana will be dropped initally.

I had the Moura link in mind. That said, with those three across the front who do you see as a two behind them?

IF Moura did come then he'd go on the right, Firmino to the bench and Coutinho at 10, as that's his best position and I feel he's better than Firmino at it too.

Two CM behind would be Can and one other midfielder, one that actually improves our midfield as its so poor atm.

Currently, probably Can and Hendo, although Hendo needs to get his form back. I thnk we've all identified this area as a weakness, so by the time the season starts, I would say Kante and Pogba. <whistle>

Of course it's all ifs and buts atm.

I don't think we'll sign another attacking player this window though.
 
Exactly. I still feel that Hendo isn't captain material though

Really? Hendo inspires me to get up every morning <whistle>

Problem is, there's not really a huge amount of outstanding captain material in the rest of the team either. Milner / Can / Sakho probably the next best candidates, but they're hardly perfect options.
