Hi Ed1 if you're around:
In your opinion who do you think will thrive under Klopp and who do you think may struggle with his system?
Many thanks
{Ed001's Note - Coutinho and Sturridge will particularly thrive I think. The quick breaks make the most of their qualities. Joe Allen is the one who looks most unsuited to be honest.}

The biggest question is going to be what is he going to do with Sturridge and Benteke
09 Oct 2015 22:01:35
I can see hendo doing well. Klopp seems to like the grounded professional types and hendo is definitely that.
09 Oct 2015 22:27:09
I think Moreno and Can could improve a lot under Klopp. It will be interesting to see how studge will fit into the team, maybe just off the right of Benteke?

I think Milner can pay the price, especially when Hendo is fit. He came because BR promised him to be a starter unlike in City. Klopp will not be obligated.

Well milner is dependant really. As a centre mid,he's done. But just based on the dortmund model(not that we'll definitely play that way) milner playing on the right side in the Blaszczykowski role makes sense.

I don't think Sturridge would appreciate not being the central striker.
Why does Sturridge make way for Benteke. Sturridge is the number 1 finisher in our team by a country mile.
We've just replaced one manager for playing players out of position. Now we want Klopp to do the same?
Sturridge is one of the best strikers in the league, it is ridiculous to play him anywhere else IMO.

Ron we replaced our last manager for so many more reasons than just playing players out of position.

And that list of reasons is longer than my arm, Mark.

Thanks, do you think Firmino and Lallana are suited too? Also, do you think Can may finally find his place in midfield?
Cheers for the replies (in advance).
{Ed001's Note - Firmino played a similar style in Germany, Lallana played it with Southampton, both should be fine.}

Ed001, i very much doubt lallana will be a first team player with Coutinho and Firmino at the club. lallana will definitely get some opportunities this season but i'm pretty sure he will be one of the many squad players that will be sold in the summer to raise funds for new players. Teixiera is the one i think will benefit the most from Klopp's arrival. His team always had a CDM and a CM playing deeper to either protect the defense or dictate play. We have Lucas to play CDM but not a single current first teamer who can do what Gundogan and Sahin did for Dortmund. Teixiera come the closest to those two and Allen will likely be used at times there.
