Liverpool should bring one of four in the summer:
Julian Weigl
Mohammed Dahoud
Dani Parejo
Jorginho

We desperately need some class in the midfield. Unless we don't replace Alonso with a similar quality we will never boss the midfield. I don't know who gets dropped or sold but you need really quality in that midfield.

Replace Alsonso?

I'm sorry what year is this?

Do you mean Xabi Alonso? The player who left us 8 years ago?

In defense of Harry we haven't had anyone of Alonso's class and composure in midfield since he left. If we could bring in an equivalent player it would go a long way to bringing us the title.

Dahoud is a bit out of place in that list. He more akin to Lallana or Coutinho, than Alonso.

Not seen Jorginho enough to judge, but Weigl is a very good talent, though I don't think he is any better than Chirivella. Parejo is too similar to Henderson if you ask me.

I do think we should go back to a holding midfield 2, with a striker ahead of the 3 though. Looks like we may pursue Mariano in the summer to be that striker. The holding pair could very easily be Gini and Hendo though as I think they are both vastly under rated with regards to the defensive work they do. I just think they are being asked to do too much in the current system.

Well in that case we need to replace Ian Rush.

We never replaced Jan Molby, super sub Ronnie Rosenthal or Johnny Barnes in my eyes. Until we do we will always be in transition. Ha ha, Transition AKA Harry AKA mathematics :-)

Because you can buy someone as talented as Alonso every day?

We can always go back in Dr Who's time machine and try to replace these players, can't we Harry?

A goalkeeper (which puts Wards place in question), a left back and a centre back.
I don't think we need a striker. Not with Sturridge and Origi. Though the problem this season is they haven't done enough to pressure Firmino or Klopp.

Dahoud is nothing like Coutinho. He is more like Modric with excellent range of passing and setting the tempo. Doesn't score enough nor run enough but he pulls the strings in that midfield.

Wijnaldum will never become a holding midfielder. The people who are behind him would turn their opinion just like they are against Can. Wiji is a solid attacking midfielder with immense Strength and pace which works in his favor against the likes of Lallana. Hence he scored two bullet header due his sheer strength. Play him behind the striker not deeper. Give him license to bomb up.

We have too many attack minded player and not one disciplined holding player.

Real, it is the fact that both Studge and Origi failed Klopp, is why Mane's absence loomed so large.
