Quick question, is Carvalho expected to come straight into the first team squad and what will be his best or likely position. I don't expect him as a youngster to have the same impact as diaz but are there high expectations in the long term?

Could be a new Bobby or take one of the No.8 spots! He'll be getting game time, a good player.

I do wonder if there's a slight tweak this season and we move to see something closer to a 4231 as opposed to 433. Having one of the three assigned a little more to attack and 2 6s. In which case I could easily see Carvalho in the 10 or backup to Diaz on the left. Or he could play an 8 too perhaps. Can't wait to see him in a Liverpool shirt. He s an exciting player but it's a big step up. I'm hoping he adapts quickly but I'm prepared to give him time. We definitely have one of the best young players in England on our hands here. Hopefully Elliott is ready to kick back into gear this season also after his bad injury. And please guys, don't give up on Jones just yet. I'm disappointed in his season too this year but he has so much talent. There's a real star there. More patience needed. Just because it's taking more time than we like doesn't mean he doesn't get there.

Seems like a versatile player - could play left side 8, left forward or even a false 9 position.

If we do sign a more traditional no9 this summer then I'd like us to evolve to a 4231 formation and have Bobby, Elliot and Carvalho vie for a no10 position and challenge them to chip in with some goals and assists.

The change in system might not suit Salah as it may force him wider than he'd like to be but we do need change.

I do expect him to come straight into the first team SQUAD and then probably get a few chances in the first half of the season - a bit live Harvey did at the start of last season.

Interested to see where he will play - I reckon, to start off with, Klopp may try him both in midfield and attack (mix it up a little) to see where he eventually settles. A bit like Stevie at the start of his career.

Agree with zed, probably some trial and error to find his most effective position. Don't see the couts comparison but hope he can fulfil his potential. Its why I think may not replace mane, who I think diaz was brought in to cover and we will bring in a versatile defensive mid to cover for fab. Elliot will likely have more minutes in midfield next season too with players like ox going etc.

First team squad, for sure. Not more than that that ir at least not immediately.

Why do we need change Pelican?

Flash - because we are becoming more predictable.

Every season there is talk of a change in formation lol and Klopp trots out the same formation with slight tweaks. This season it was incorporating Trent more centrally (to our detriment sometimes imo) . Next season it could be just that Carvalho brings the skill set that can get us back to playing that Bobby type of #9 role from years ago. Who knows, but what seems less likely is that Klopp will up end the system.
