      With pre season done and 6 days to the start of the league what 11 would you go with based on pre season and assuming we arent signing anyone before kick off.

      For me..

      Mignolet

      TAA Matip Gomez Moreno

             Gini Can Hendo

      Salah       Firmino    Mane

      Subs: Karius. Lovern. Robertson. Gruij Milner. Solanke. Kent.

      Id like to see Gomez get a run at centre back. Moreno has improved no end but think we need yo give him a chance in the league to see if its real improvement

      No Coutinho? Are you assuming he's off to Barça or something?

      I'd go with Mignolet; TAA, Matip, Lovren, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Coutinho; Salah, Mane, Firmino.

      Would do for me........but I suspect he'll bring in Gini and push Bobby up top.

      Lot depends on Coutinho being fit and if he stays.

      Mig  TAA Matip Lovren Robertson Hendo Can Coutinho Mane Sturridge Salah

       If Coutinho goes the bulk of our creative spark goes with him..what then.

      Salah  Coutinho  Mane
            Sturridge/Solanke

      Hard to believe I've put Mignolet and Moreno in there, but it's on form, and who we have. Thought Robertson looked hesitant yest, Migs still shades Karius. Think Gini looks sharper than Emre right now.
      Really wanted us to sign a recognised quality striker, cause we look a diff side with one, so if Studge fit would start him though would be OK with Solanke who has been impressive. So for me Firmino would loose out.

      REALLY hope to see one or two more new names on the starting XI before transfer window ends.

                     Mignolet


      T.A.A.      Matip.    Lovren.   Milner

                  Henderson.  Gini

                         Coutinho


        Salah.                        Mane
                        Firmino


      I'd be just as happy to see Robertson at left back but have a feeling it will be Milner despite Jürgen's comments yesterday. Am very surprised to see Alberton 'penalty waiting to happen' Moreno in so many people's teams. A couple of solid pre-season games where he hasn't had much to do defensively hasn't blunted my memories of his total lack of defensive instincts and terrible decision making in the penalty area. I think Klopp will likely favour Can over Gini but I would prefer the Dutchman to play.

      If Robertson shapes up I wouldn't be surprised to see Moreno depart in the Jan 2018 window. Out of his depth here I think.

      What would I go with and no signings:

                        Karius
      TAA       Matip     Lovren    Moreno
                       Henderson
                  Coutinho Grujic
           Salah     Firmino    Mane


      Must admit I really struggled with the Grujic choice but against Watford I think he'd give us the aerial presence none of our other front 4 have, also set-pieces we'll need that height. I think we can live without 2 more defensive minded midfielders and Can/Henderson just don't mix very well, it's one or the other and on current form Henderson just shades it.

      Wijnaldum is the one that loses out and I haven't been at all impressed with him in pre-season. For me the season could well hinge on the boss getting in a CM or two before the window shuts (which I'm not confident he will) because in my opinion this is quickly becoming our weakest area. It wont be long, not just through his own progress, but through injuries and regression of others that Woodburn becomes a real contender to start.
