Morning eds, just wondered your thoughts, do u think klopp will keep benteke next season 2 c if he can adapt to his style, or do u think klopp will sell him? If he does sell him will they buy another striker or will they go with ings, sturridge and origi and may b buy a winger? Also can u see markovic returning or do u think they will sell him?! Thanx.

{Ed001's Note - I expect Klopp to look to sell Benteke, but not to replace him unless some gem becomes available. Markovic is likely to leave but it is not certain yet.}

Thanxs 4 the reply. Can u c us bringing in a winger? Also what posistion do u think we will buy 4.

{Ed001's Note - I believe Klopp wants some more wide options yes. Goalkeeper and left back.}

Do u think it will b right wing they look at or both sides. Think coutinho done good on the left but rather c him in the 10 role tbh.

{Ed001's Note - I really don't think it works like that, we will want someone capable of playing both sides, but priority is the left.}

Can u see courinho moving central in the 10 role n firminho as the striker if they get a left winger.

{Ed001's Note - depends on the system we play. It won't be one tactic and one system each and every week.}

4-2-3-1 looks like he been favouring in recent weeks also the 4-3-3.

{Ed001's Note - 4-4-2 surely? We have been playing a variant of that, not a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. Firmino has been up top alongside Sturridge or Origi.}

Oh ok thought it was more of a 4-2-3-1 tbh with firmino behind in the 10 role am properly rong.

{Ed001's Note - it depends on how you view it I guess, but I don't see any difference in how we play to a 4-4-2, but that is not fashionable to say. Firmino is playing as a striker.}

Yeah i knw what u mean. wot do u think of the diamond formation i think it wrks 4 our players.

{Ed001's Note - not for me, I like the system we are currently using as it is the most flexible and balanced.}

Hi ed001.
Do you see buying a left back a priority?
I mean we have Smith, flanno, Gomez and Moreno on the books, surely we can go into next season without buying?
I know there are issues with all 4 players (young and raw, coming back from injury X2 and inconsistent and always out of position) but if we rotate we can pick whoevers on form.
Or do you think Klopp wants a consistent performer?
I fear if we buy in this position now it limits the development of smith, Gomez and flanno.

{Ed001's Note - we have to prioritise it, Gomez is a centre back, Flanno is a right back and Smith is one player, you can't go through a season with one left back. Moreno needs to go, he has shown he does not have the intelligence to reach the level we need.}

Yeah I reluctantly agree with you ed, let's hope whoever is bought does the job finally.
Just a shame as I had high hopes for Moreno.

{Ed001's Note - me too, I knew he had defensive issues, but I thought he would learn, but he has learnt how to be worse rather than better!}
