Lallana should be used predominantly as back up to Coutinho ,the two seem to vie for the same space.
As for Ibe he should also be a useful impact sub ,but as a wide man he needs to bring a whole lot more to his game.
Not so sure RBG, Coutinho is a great player but is very hit and miss throughout the season. Let's hope for some more consistency this season, so far so good.
Firmino is an unknown quantity at the moment, but I personally believe given game time he will add another important dimension to our game. Rodgers needs to play him ahead of Lallana, who has looked very average so far.
I'm far from convinced on Markovic, he was awful last season and at times seemed scared silly playing. If he continues that nonsense we should cut our losses and sell him at the end of this season. He needs to be given a few full games to show us whether he has it or not.
Couldn't agree more on Ibe, he is nowhere near the player we currently need out on the wings. The kid is too young and raw and needs to a lot more time before he is playing 90 minutes in the first XI, game in game out. We were all over the moon selling that little s**t Sterling but we now look very, very poor out on the wings. Not sure how that is going to work with Benteke wanting a constant stream of crosses into the box?
