KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Pepe to Arsenal.

Don't think he is still assessing, rather think he will not buy an attacker. We all know that our 3 attackers will not be able to play all the 67 or so games of the season even if they are not injured.

On the right wing I assume that Shaq will be called to do a job when Salah is out, which is ok for me. On the left I can't see who else but Origi and maybe even in the centre if Mane or Firmino are out. Despite his exploits last season, I think Origi is quite far from both Mane and Firmino, but I must say I don't know regarding Brewster, he could be our new Owen and Firmino will lose his place as it happened with Fowler I think.

I feel Klopp is making a mistake but as some people said, he is supposed to know best as he sees them everyday. We'll see, only a few days to wait.

There’s no supposed about it. He knows infinitely more than anyone about what he and the squad needs. He does see them everyday. He knows their strengths. He knows how good they are and can be. He will know if Brewster is ready etc. etc.

I'm bumping my own post from 4 weeks ago...

I think we need a good lb and a top formard to rotate across the line up top.

Then we're sorted for the upcoming season.

It's up to Klopp to accomodate for those players in the right fashion, so that we get the most out of them and the rest of the squad.

Ideally I would like the lb to rotate on both flanks, so we keep all 3 fullbacks fresh and up & running. The same up top. I don't think there's any use signing a player like Firmino Mk II and put him on the bench. He needs to play regularly. At least 20-25 games a season in all competitions.

What we can/will play the next season is: 38 games in the PL. Max 13 games in CL. Max 6 games in the FA Cup. Max 6 games in the League Cup. 1 game in the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup and then lastly 2 games in The Club World Championships. So that's a total of max 67 games (min 49 games if we go out as early as possible in all comps).

Rotating 4 players evenly along the front line will mean each of them will play somewhere between 36 and 48 games (3 of 4 games each).

Rotating evenly amongst 3 fullbacks will mean each of them will play somewhere between 32 and 42 games (2 of 3 games each).

Not bad at all that. Even if Klopp doesn't play them exactly evenly, there is a good chance they can all pick up at least 30 games, which should be enough to encourage even a top class player to join us.

If Pepe does not help deliver top 4 for Arsenal at £72m Emery is gone IMO.
