Hi Eds,

Do you expect Alisson to be our final addition this summer? Or will we go after a new player to replace the role coutinho played? I also want to ask you your thoughts on Sturridge potentially playing as a number 10, think he would suit the role as he is no longer quick enough to play up top in my opinion.

{Ed002's Note - I have answered the first question and if the team is to include DS then who drops out?}

Keita, Henderson, Fabinho, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

That is likely how our midfield and attack will line up.

Sturridge at no 10? I highly doubt it.

Asensio, Dybala and Griezmann will probably miss out ed 😉.

Why can’t Sturridge play games as striker, with Firmino?

Firmane, who goes to the bench if Sturridge starts?

Sturridge seems to be dropping deeper and taking on more of a playmaker role in the warm ups to be fair. I can see him being effective as a second striker alongside someone, but his fitness is his issue, not his ability.

@maxlfc

Personally, I do see the need for two defensive midfielders in england, but if Klopp decides to take a different angle on the team, I could very well see DS starting and firmino falling back into no 10, with Naby and Fabinho behind him.

Benny, Sturridge is made of glass plus Henderson, why on earth leave him out?

Unfortunately you cannot rely on a player like Sturridge. Start him and 15 minutes later you need to sub him. Sad but true.

He was playing pushed up on the central defenders against Blackburn getting fed by keita making darting runs in behind were he should be, that's were he looks best, I am preying a miracle will happen an he can stay fit hungry an very beneficial too us, can't see it though unfortunately.

Can’t believ we’re having a conversation on where studge will play? The guy wil be injured by week 3 of the season if we don’t sell him. Sad as it is but the guy has been averaging about 15 appearance ( including off the bench) in the last 3 years. You can’t possibly plan a season with him with that record.

Is it me or are we obsessed with a #10.It's a cool Jersey number, but in reality we don't play a #10.

Interesting to see people counting Milner out again. Personally I thought he had his best LFC season with us last year and finished top of the CL assists charts and has again set records with his fitness performances in pre season. Personally I believe he offers more than Henderson but that’s just my view point.

Spot on, Swisch. We are actually talking about a player who IMO, is way past his best and is made of cardboard, and how he will fit into our team as a starter? Really? Must be a slow news day today then.

Sturridge is useful as an option from the bench but seeing as how brewster signed a senior deal and Solanke is still with us I expect Sturridge to be sold. This pre season is surely a shop window.
