Lallana has come back so that should give us cover until the summer. And let's not forget we've still got the fab three. His come back has been crap so far, so unless he makes a rapid and significant recovery, he won't be the answer. Our best bet is I think Firmino but we need to buy a top striker Lallana has only played two games since coming back from injury, the first was very good the second less so. Not to say he's anywhere near Coutinho's level but he was out for a few months so i think it's safe to say that he'll need a couple a few more game before he's back to his best.

Just a thought really maybe we don’t have to go and splash lots of cash for Coutinho replacement woodburn has shown glimpse of a similar player to counting maybe start getting him more game time?
Or
Drop firminho in to the am position and buy a striker? Teixeira? Aubameyang? Or maybe another suggestion?
But I do believe woodburn has good potential and hopefully he gets some more game time in the coming months Woodburn is an 18 year old who can't get a place in the side currently. What earthly sense would it make to try using him as a replacement for a world class player like Coutinho? Though under our current regime that madness wouldn't surprise me.

If we're going to drop Firmino back then we need to buy 2 strikers pronto. I just don't see it happening. FSG were willing to gamble without proper CBs in the first half of the season - a left back last season - and now they'll try to finish this season on the cheap without replacing Coutinho. They gamble our future every single transfer window. So we lose one attacking player and we have to buy 2, why not 3?

Our best bet is I think Firmino but we need to buy a top striker I agree he's not the answer to replace Coutinho. But he will fill some of void even just to the summer. He's got wonderful technical ability, probably even better than Coutinho, but one thing we are now lacking is a playmaker and goalscorer from midfield.

Sturridge has faded and is always injured. He's rumoured to be off or his world cup is in danger. We have Solanke, who has not panned out with our style of play. We have Ings, who can't get a game and is also rumoured to be off. We have Origi who wants a permanent deal with Wolfsburg. So therefore we need two strikers to pair with Firmino (who may drop back) and Solanke. We have one of the best front lines in the Premier League. I agree we could do with a forward and another attacking midfielder but we are not in desperate need for either until the summer. And we want players who will improve our starting 11 and have lots of potential and we will have more chance of getting those players in the summer.

Salah has 23 goals and 6 assists, Mane has 8 goals and 5 assists and Firmino has 16 goals and 8 assists. Those three have 47 goals between them and 19 assists. Behave yourself man.

This is what I do and why I am questioning your reasoning to replace Coutinho by 2 CFs. But now you are talking about Sturridge etc which doesn't have anything to do with Coutinho leaving.

You're very sure of what is going on at the club wilkji, how so?
All I see is Klopp being undermined time and again, just like Brenda before him and Kenny before him! Leopards don't change their spots, these are greedy businessmen we are owned by!
As fans we should all be on the same page of wanting us to become the best again. It's not acceptable to make excuses for them and finding fault elsewhere. The buck stops with FSG, they control all the money and fans need to understand that we are going nowhere remotely acceptable, until they have gone!
