In deciding hypothetically who I’d like a manager to pursue, the needs must be delegated first.
Liverpool have a #10 in Philippe Coutinho, a right-back in Nathaniel Clyne, a centre-mid in Jordan Henderson, a centre-half in Mamadou Sakho and a pair of strikers in Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke. After that, competition for spots have got to be up for grabs. Even at that, Coutinho and Clyne are the only two on that list who don’t have frequent injury problems.
If Jurgen Klopp returns to his 4-2-3-1, even when both Sturridge and Benteke are fit, Liverpool will definitely need a winger or two. Another centre-mid will be in accord to add to Henderson, James Milner and Emre Can. A centre-half is absolutely a necessity.
Naturally, there’ll be a few Dortmund players on this list because most of them are still young and Klopp proved his success with them.
