      Wijnaldum looks lost in the middle, but he is not really getting much support from Lallana and Woodburn! Not liking 2 attacking midfielders in midfield!

      TAA on the other hand, wow!

      Hey it wouldn't be football if we weren't complaining about the commentators, cameramen and all round coverage!

      Goal for Salah! But great press by Woodburn!
      Cant wait to start complaining about the video challenge.  :)

      I don't see how Jürgen can keep him under wraps for much longer, especially against the teams we're 'expected' to beat. Just gives us so much more in an attacking sense. Pure quality.

      Good to see Cou playing well, Bobby's touch has been a bit off but the vision and passing has been there and Salah looking rapid.

      Woodburn looks comfortable on the ball wherever you put him but agree he's not offering enough in way of stopping Wigan, should be interesting how we change the look for the second half, really enjoyable though.

      TAA should be starting without a single doubt. He's exceptional.

      Still not sure how good he is defensively, but he's miles better than Clyne going forward.

      Bobby doing what he'll do so many times this season, laying it on a plate and Salah with a tap in, good stuff.

      We've deserved to be winning by a few, really encouraging half, loved watching us to be honest even though things haven't been hitting the back of the net.

      You can see hints there of why Klopp will probably start the season with Firmino up front. He may not score as many as the idealistic signing of someone like Auba from Dortmund but he'll bring in everyone around him. I get frustrated that he doesn't score more but it's so obvious that he's great to play around and feed off from.

      If Keita arrives this summer then I can see Gini suffering from it. He definitely struggled relative to those ahead of him. Poor in the press, poor in the pass, getting overrun. Not great.

      Salah+Mane+Firmono+Coutinho.

      Going to end up being a lethal combination...not sure if it will reach SAS levels but not impossible.

      Just saw the replay of Salah in the opening minute, breaking away from Wigan defender. Mo has an extra gear.  :)

      Pretty sure the only reason why Auba is not here is because with our limited funds the priority for Klopp is midfield and defence.

      I have no doubt if he had the choice Bobby would not be first choice striker, he just isn't a striker.

      Agreed on Bobby. In the end, it's the Goals For column in the league table that Jürgen is concerned about, and Bobby helps that number go up, up, up, one way or another.

      Also agree Keita starts over Gini, but Gini will be fine.

      Im concerned about the defense, Van Dijk process is on hold and im really hoping we will not start the season with Milner as a LB.

      I suspect that argument will roll on throughout the season and could become more obvious against sterner defences where chances don't come by that often. You're probably right with regards to funds. I mean, why else is Sturridge still with us?

      Aye Klopp said as much we can't afford to replace Sturridge with other areas if the team a more pressing concern.
