He doesnt have the quality the likes of Coutinho and Mane have but his movement, pace and awareness are top class. It would be interesting to see if he can maintain his scoring form; I had him down as a 15 goal player but he's on course to get to that number before Christmas.
Still not sure he makes our best 11 based on ability, first name on the team sheet on form though.
28 goals and counting Ace
Yea he's having an insane season. Lets hope it continues until end of the season and we finish in the top4.
On Coutinho needing replacing, does he really ? I said before the Keita signing that he would be Coutinho's replacement and I still think that's how Klopp sees it. I'm not sure where a Lemar or Draxler would fit in the starting 11 ? Possibly replacing Mane as things stand ? We'd probably be better off finding either a young playmaker type of player who is comfortable coming off the bench or we rely on Lallana for that role.
Our main problem when Coutinho was around was with the shape of the side, we lost some creativity (+threat from set pieces) with his departure but our shape and formation look better as things stand.
Ox is an interesting piece in the side; I think Keita coming in the summer + Lallana returning to fitness limits his chances in the middle of the park. Him and Origi are potential backup for our front 3 but we probably need at least one more addition.
