The Starters........
Karius
Trent A A Matip Lovren Robertson
Wijnaldom Henderson
Coutinho
Salah Mane
Firmino
Bench: Mignolet, Klavan, Milner, Can, Solanke, Kent, Grujic
I think Jürgen will start the season with Karius and see how he fares, commands his area better and his distribution is much better, Matip & Lovren , until VVD comes in this is our best cb pairing imo, TAA takes the RB slot and perhaps has made it his own, at LB I've gone for Robertson over Moreno, better defender, more astute, better end product,
for me we can't have both Hendo & Can in the same X1, since Hendo is skip he gets my nod, Gini alongside him will link up with our attackers, and can break up play, Coutinho if fit has to play, he's simply our best player and creator supreme,
Mane, Salah & Bobby the defence destroyers, with their cunning running and turn of speed will give defenders nightmares, I think last season we lacked pace at times, especially against the bus parkers, Klopp has hopefully rectified that we problem for this campaign.
The Finishers......
Our bench last season was woefully short in quality, it's still not as good as it should be imo, however, it is atm better, whoever is plucked from the bench will obviously depend on the score, fitness, tactics etc during the 90+ mins, needless to say those players who come on should do so with minimum disruption, everyone to a man whether they are starters or finishers need to be on their metal and ready to run/work their gonads off.
Twatford away, although difficult should see us win our first 3 pts, i'm confidant for the win and can see us being to good for them,
1-3, Salah, Gini, and Solanke with the goody goody gumdrops.
