I'm really intrigued by Moreno mate. It's clear that unlike the majority of fans Jürgen seems to be happy enough with him starting next season. It was also interesting to see the stats about his chance creation being one of the best in the league so I think this one would be the biggest surprise to most of us if he makes a success of it.
I really think a brain surgeon is required rather than a football coach but I'll watch on with great interest.
Can't remember where I saw it, but I read somewhere that Moreno created the most chances in attack AND had the most successful recovery tackles of any defender in the Prem. Considering Klopp wants our defensive line to play closer to the halfway line rather than our own 18 yard line, I think Moreno fits nicely into the gaffer's tactical setup.
For me, the good surprise will be Studge staying fit and finishing top goal scorer in the Prem
I would also say Moreno, but I will be one of the few who won't be surprised when he has a breakout season
Bad surprises will be Markovic and Firmino. While Lazar is a talented footballer, I don't think he will fit Klopp's high pressing game. He likes to keep things simple and I think he is better suited to a team that likes to keep possession and work the ball around in a slow, structured fashion. As for Bobby -- aside from his purple patch in the middle of the season he was dreadful for the most part and I think he'll struggle to hold down a regular place this term....
For what it's worth, I actually think our go to starting 11 this season will be:
Loris
Clyne - Matip - Sakho - Moreno
Can - Hendo
Mane - Coutinho - Lallana
Studge
Edit: I can't find the article that said Moreno had the most recovery tackles of any defender, but
www.premierleague.com shows he had 242 recoveries in 60 matches, so just over 4 per match.
