Welcome Takumi Minamino

If we win the league again, Bobby plays every game and doesn't score. I don't care.

He's not a passenger.

Not a passenger sums it up. He's the opposite, vital.

He was brilliant against Chelsea, particularly when Thiago came on.

He's not there for the goals, his play is in helping to unlock the doors in winning back possession and pressing.

Goals will come. Whats great though, is having the option of playing Taki.

[Corndog]

Minamino was great last night, Klopp seems to have his mind set on Taki being used most as a false 9 but regardless of output, Bobby brings a certain physicality that might be hard for Minamino to replicate.

I think both will get ample minutes this year. Interesting to see whether Jota will be considered an option centrally.

[Shaggy]

I'd start him in place of Bobby v Sheff United. Done enough to deserve a league start imo while Bobby continues to underwhelm.

[S-RED]

Bobby needs a kick TBH,; start Jota, Mo & Mane

[danperkins]

Bobby needs to be dropped. Whether Minamino is the one to replace him that's a different story. Came into the game a bit and had some nice moves with Jota. Looks lightweight still but I suppose he may deserve a chance to prove himself but agree Jota Mo Mane looks tasty. Who plays where is the question.

[Shaggy]

Less disruption to the set up and balance of the front three with Minamino, but Jota has looked excellent. Either way it's time Bobby had a rest imo.

[S-RED]

Mane - Mo - Jota for me.

[Rich]

My preference would be sticking Mané through the middle. Jota left, Salah right.

Jota has already shown more than Taki and Mané is ****ing imperious at the moment.

[Shaggy]

I remain to be convinced that moving Mane from the left - where he's just about the best on the planet and a set-up that works so well for us with the work Firmino does in that central position flanked by Mane and Mo - is a good idea. Minamino for Bobby would be a seamless swap and I thought Taki was good last night and has earned his chance.

[Fosterbloke]

No way I'd move Mane from the left, his left sided movement, shooting and understanding with Robertson is too good. I think Jota is very much left sided too.

Taki for the middle for me.

[labourRed]

With regards to Mane, he only became a left winger when Salah joined. Before that he was a right winger. He can absolutely play off either side if he needs to.

The only caveat is he's built up a great understanding with Robbo.

This......I'd fancy him either side, but he is just unplayable at times where he is and with Robbo looking fighting fit and hungry, there's profit to be had down that side.
If Trent can rediscover his form, we'll be sucking diesel in no time.
