I've been supportive of him since he was signed, and I think he is in many ways the ideal Klopp midfielder. However, he (Adam) has a huge problem now that Mane and Wijnaldum have arrived, as both are more likely (IMO) to offer more of a goal threat from the AM positions. That's his Achilles heel, and has been since he arrived.
His direct competition for places is now likely, as you say, to be vying with the two Brazilians for the position behind the striker(s).
I'm sad to say it but I see him as a bench option this season, unless we have injuries. A useful role, as we may need his pressing to tighten up a game we're winning, but not - I suspect - one he'll be happy about.
