Hi Ed's,

Any update on Hendo's recovery? I think it's crucial we have him 100% fit for the start of the season. And Ings too if you don't mind.

{Ed001's Note - nothing to tell, it is the close season. Both are expected to be back for the preseason.}

Fingers crossed that both can stay injury free next season. It'd be like 2 new signings.

In my opinion it's very difficult to see ings having a Liverpool career now. As well as coming back from 2 seasons out, he'd have to force his way ahead of firmino, sturridge, origi and presumably solanke for our 1 striker position. I can see him going on loan when eventually fit.

I think we play better with 2 up front. We have lots of footy on this season, potentially anyhow, so will need strikers - and there will be injuries/ fitness issues.

Inge was quality when he was on the pitch, I hope he gets a chance.

I also think Firmino is better in a 10 position. Inge sniffs out goals Firmino doesn't seem to.

I can't see him having a problem forcing out sturridge and Origi if I'm honest. Klopp will give him his chance when fit and we can just hope that he takes it and strengthens the attacking options again.

While I wish Ings all the best and hope he hits the ground running, I think most are underestimating the consequences of two consecutive anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Two years without any competitive football. I'm no doctor, but I know it's very difficult to recover from them, and most of the time players simply are not the same anymore. I hope he's able to contribute some key goals over the season, but I'd rather not have pressure piled on to him.

I'd love us to go 2 up. I think ings and firmino could work well together but I can't see it happening with a new winger coming in because there would be no space for couts then.
