Can't see Wijnaldum as a DM. His favoured position is behind the main striker and the Newcastle fella interviewed by TIA or the Echo, can't remember which, said he disappears if he's not in his favoured position. Wherever he plays, I doubt it's going to be DM. Unless Klopp has special voodoo powers over players. smile

Can see it, our 1st team for me will be

Sturridge or Origi

Coutinho Firmino Mane

Can Wijnaldum

Moreno Sakho/Lovren Matrip/Karius Clyne
Mignolet


I dont think there will be a sitting CM as such I think it will be the job of both Can and Mijnaldum to cover the other if they go...
Interesting isn't it. In that line up both Henderson and Milner become squad players. If I'm honest, Milner has grown on me. I'd rather have him at left back and on the pitch than see Moreno play there.

Lallana, Ings, Henderson and Milner (4 English internationals) will struggle to get into this team, particularly with the signings Klopp has made.

Milner did very well at left back. Give him the goalie gloves and I am sure he would do very well in goal too. He just loves to play football and he will play his heart out whatever position he is given. Wijnaldum comes across that if he doesn't play in the position he likes most, he just doesn't turn up. Early days still but if he doesn't want or have the desire to adapt, I can see him on the bench more than a starter and utilised as a squad player simply because of the number of attacking players we have at our disposal.

Perhaps Klopp sees Wijnaldum as cover for Firmino. Not a reserve, but someone to provide more of a challenge. If one isn't working he can bring on the other.

I wouldn't be suprised if we don't actually have a "starting 11" this year and Klopp rotates players alot to keep up the High tempo/Pressing game he wants.

Basically they are are squad players.

Fair play. I've managed to get some tickets - looking forward to seeing the new squad and see how well we can press what should still be a pretty decent Barca team.

Tried to get tickets on the day of release but they sold out very quickly. Spent my money on Golovkin v Brook tickets instead which sold out equally quick but I know Eddie Hearn and got some through him.

I may be able to get a ticket for the Barca game - Mate got me one, but clashes with Cowes week and I'm already committed to sailing this weekend.

He might have got rid by now, but can check if anyone is interested... think the ticket was £35, and they are a good group of lads.

Jurgen Klopp on his staff:
“Zeljko is the best coach I’ve ever met, he is unbelievable, like a football book!
“Pep is in a very good way, heading in the right direction. He is young, with wonderful skill which will see him become a great coach in future, I’m sure.”
“I was happy to bring in Andreas [from Bayern]. He has top experience, is really educated in his job and is a good guy as well.”
“John Achterberg - more passion for goalkeeping is not possible!
“Pete - he’s watched I don’t know how many games in the last 20 years, he can tell you everything. He’s another who has to see everything, and so in total we have 10 plus eyes on things and then after training, it’s not over. We sit together and discuss what we’ve seen.”
