Sadio Mane arrival - who's place does he take

He should replace Lallana. Lallana is technically gifted but his stats(goals/assists) are poor.

I don't think he's all that technically gifted, he's very predictable and more often than not ends up going round in a circle and passing it backwards.

A bit harsh, almost all commentators I've heard have praised how skilled Lallana was. Like Hendo, Lallana is gifted but does not have what it takes to boss a game and make decisive choices.

So... as Danny would not be "on his own" in a 4  3  3 you'd be happy enough then Robert?

My personal preference that's all. I think Klopp will play his favoured formation of 4 2 3 1 and that would put sturridge up top on his own and too date he hasn't convinced me playing in that position. With a partner, yes, he was lethal with suarez but I just don't think he's suited to the lone striker role in the way Klopp wants to play his gegen pressing style. I just think he's better suited to the rw cutting in on his left foot.

He is taking Benteke place in the squad defo.

Starting 11, who knows, rotation rotation and injuries will probably determine that.

1st game of season as squad stands this would be my front 4:-

       ---- Studger -----
- Mane - Coutinho - Firmino -

Effectively yes   ... in the squad.

Palace have come in with a £25m bid for Benteke which balances the books.

Crystal Palace have made a £25m bid to sign Christian Benteke from Liverpool.

The 25-year old striker is at Euro 2016 with Belgium but has fallen out of favour at Liverpool since boss Jürgen Klopp took over last October.

The forward joined the Reds for £32.5m in July 2015 under former boss Brendan Rodgers and has scored 10 goals.

He has started only eight league games under Klopp and last month said: "I'd like to stay if I remain in the coach's plans. If not, it'll become difficult."

Good, Benteke is wasting his own time staying at LFC, a shame cos we all know he can score goals, but he just don't fit Klopps pressing style.

Feel sorry for benteke and Origi ant the Euro's though, both hardly got a kick.
