AFCON and Olympics eh?
Perhaps an answer to the loss of the front three players is a change of formation?
As Ed002 has said, get a top notch AM in Summer and switch / broaden the emphasis of the firepower?
Please trust Klopp and his management team. We've seen them become very clever tactically in the past season and a half and this is just another (temporary) hurdle to jump. It'll get sorted.

I'm thinking in a years time we will have curtis Jones, minamino, ox, origi, and bobby. Tbh but mate I'm more interested in the now. United on sunday, its their cup final. They r set up for counter attacking football and it's one of them games were their fans don't mind how they play cause they just want to win this one game and in their eyes that's a success for utd. Imo we turn up we win, all over the pitch we r superior. YNWA.

It’s an interesting point OP as our system works so well because Mane and Salah cut in with pace and score goals while Firmino drops deep as a playmaker.

If both are away for a month we’d have to use Origi (who’s a more traditional 9) and so if you play the individuals in presumably their most favoured positions, you’d probably end up in more of a 4-2-3-1 eg.
Origi
Minamino - Firmino - Ox/ Shaqiri

I’d be happy to see a setup like that, but if wanting to stick with the 4-3-3 I’d play Origi on the left so you still have pace out wide eg. Origi - Firmino - Shaqiri/ Elliott (I’m not as convinced by Ox as a winger)

I would like to see the team with Bobby upfront Origi and Shaqiri on the wings and Minamino as 10.

Salah has had a very rocky relationship with his national association in recent years, so who knows if he will play or refuse to do so, as Matip has been doing. I'm not at all suggesting he should. Playing for your country is the peak of professionalism for many players.

Why are we worrying about a years time? We don’t even know how many or what fixtures they will miss. Nor if they will even go. Nor who we might sign in January or the summer. Nor if they will all still be Liverpool players by then.
Just chill and deal with it if and when it happens. I’m more concerned with beating Utd on Sunday and winning the treble this season.

I think it’s interesting to ponder the possibilities Bp.
It could be an AM addition or we could withdraw Firmino there or Minimino and play Origi as the CF. In which case, a quick wide man (eg Traore) could be on the cards?
The good thing is we’ve got adaptable footballers.
I like that, it’s an old Shankly / Paisley trait.
It’s a challenge and, of course, injures could throw a real spanner in the works but with planning and forethought one that can be met.

Hey Juicer people can think and talk about whatever they want mate it’s no problem for me. I just think this is all pointless as we just don’t know what the situation will be in a years time so what’s the point worrying about it.
Just enjoy this phenomenal run we’re on right now.
