I think the system we use makes a lot of sense for a lot of sense for a lot of PL scenario's. Lallana behind Firmino is great for the high press, fast turen around and counter, with Mane and Coutinho then becoming our main attacking threat. It work wonders against Arsenal, missed Mane v Burnley and was wasteful but creative against Spurs.
Wijnaldum I think is still settling and feeling his way in. He has not done any thing wrong yet but is yet to show his full ability. I think Wijnaldum will essentially take up a Frank Lampard kind of role, making forward and late runs from midfield, playing through balls and scoring goals. Top teams need a goal threat in CM, hopefully Wijnaldum will be that. Its still early days.
A fully fit Can will improve our midfield defensively, as well as the teams over all balance. Once our defensive spine of Karius, Lovren, Matip and Can settle our counter attacking prowess should shine better.
Clyne is very reliable but LB is a huge concern. A LB like Hector or Rodriguez could be worth every penny of the Benteke money, as the LB area is currently costing us points. Alternatively we could approach Coentrao for a loan deal.

Against weaker teams though we should wack Sturridge or Origi upfront WITH Firmino. 442 or 41212.
