What's our first 11 after mane is back including subs? That's provided everyone is fit?

Doesn't really answer your question but I was thinking before about how nice it would be to start with a front 3 of Salah, Diaz and Jota on Thursday. I love Bobby but he doesn't offer the goal threat of Jota and Mo, plus Diaz is the shiny new toy. I doubt it will happen of course as no doubt Diaz will need to be eased into the side and Mo is just coming back after playing a lot of football.

Klopps first team will be

Ali
TAA Matip VVD Robbi
Hendo Fab Thiago
Salah Jota Mane

Subs - Kelleher Ibou Gomez Tsimikas Milner Ox Jones Diaz Firmino

Team vs Leicesters will be Firmino instead of Mane Jota out wide. or he might give Taki a go

Personally I think it should be Ibou or Gomez instead of Matip and Ox or Jones instead of Henderson.

The beauty of it is, i don't think you can pick a best XI now. I mean there are at least 5 players who start without question (first names on the team sheet) .

Alisson, Virgil, Trent, Fabinho and Salah.

Everyone else has a serious battle for their place.

Robbo/ Tsimikas
Matip/ Konate
Hendo/ Elliott
Thiago/ Jones
Jota/ Firmino
Mane/ Diaz

Literally any of them are good enough to start and it doesn't really affect the quality of the starting XI. The ones on the left are the ones i believe would currently start if we had a CL final tomorrow but in particular Matip, Thiago, Hendo and Mane will be looking over their shoulder knowing they need to up their levels now.

Robbo first name for me.

Agree MK, I agree with your categories and assessment. Only quibble is with not including Gomez as I think he could cover RB and CB, which gives us 18 players who are genuine first team standard.

Not a bad position to be in for the rest of this season as they all seem to be fit, for the first time in forever. Pretty solid base to build on for the future too.

I love this team and for the first time in my life we do t have a player/ position where I think we have a real weakness. Robbo is an interesting one, defensively really good but he does seem to always be the one playing the opposing team onside. I also think Tmiskas has a much better delivery from out wide. But his energy and attitude in the pitch is amazing. he's a great player and a great man.

I think El Capitan is a must-have also.
Even if his form is off, he brings other attributes to the group.

Robbo has 47 assists in the PL. I guess more than anyone else in our squad.

The most assists in the Premier League of our current side Markp08 are as below:

1. Milner 86
2. Henderson 50
3. Robbo 47
4. Firmino 45
5. Salah 43
5. Trent 43
7. Mane 37

We've got some talented players in this side 👏🏻.

Remember at the start of the season before he got injured, Elliott was evidently in Klopp's preferred first eleven, so I guess, once he's back to match fitness with a few subs appearances, he'll be making the starting line up again. And if Klopp sees him as one of the midfield three, rather than a wide forward, then before long we might see it coming down to a choice between Henderson and Thiago for the third midfield position alongside Fabinho and Elliott.

Thiago plays when fit, were a much better side with him in it.
