Hello everyone,
Never been consistant enough of a user of this site to create a profile but think it's time so go easy Ed's n reds. From Liverpool and had a couple people tell me now to expect Ryan Kent back so Salah can play the Coutinho role till end of season and Kent will play out on the wing? Is this a realistic possibility?

{Ed001's Note - the only realistic possibility there is that he might well be coming back.}

No chance mate - I expect Lallana will slot into Coutinhos attacking midfield role and Mane, Firmino and Salah continue upfront with Ox rotating in midfield or upfront to keep things fresh.

Kent is in no way ready and the fact he can’t get game time at Freiburg is indication of that.

I agree with Ed001. Salah is banging in the goals at the minute so would be unrealistic to move him into couts role. I could see Bobby dropping into the number 10 role, it's his natural position and we bring in another for the front 3,with that being said Bobby is brilliant in his position so taking a risk moving him now. Id like to see couts stay till the summer, agree something with Barcelona now and get a replacement now if possible to give them time to bed in. We've got more to lose than Barcelona in the sense that there flying at the top of la liga, couts can't play CL for them so we need to protect ourselves.

I do really like Kent and would like to see him given a shot.

you mean Cout's midfield role? Or wide left-sided forward? No way Salah would suit the former. I can think of a few players that would, though.

I’m not one for making up rumours myself to be honest people, just sharing some other peoples opinions what they have told me. I agree with Ed and uggers myself like. Thanks for the reply’s people and have a good one.

Jurgen, Couts doesn’t suit his midfield role so why bother replacing it? He weakens the midfield and we just look unbalanced. Great player but needs to be in the front 3. We already have quality up there so we can live without Couts.
