Coutinho, Firmino, and Mane were Liverpool's front three last season.

Jurgen Klopp rectified the problem and signed Sadio Mane from Southampton. From day one, the Senegalese international started to terrorize defenders with his breakneck pace and had sufficient end product which is crucial for any forward. The Brazilian's Firmino and Coutinho combined to score 26 goals and the new signing Mane netted 13 goals that season.

The front three consisted of Roberto Firmino as a false 9, Coutinho and Mane on the flanks. Jurgen Klopp's front three combined well with midfielders Georgino Wijnaldum, Emre Can and Adam Lallana who were chipping in goals too.

Despite scoring a whole lot of goals and conceding plenty at the other end, the Reds only managed to get enough points on board until January when Sadio Mane left for the African Cup of nations. The Reds bowed out of the League Cup, FA Cup and Premier League title race within a span of 15 days. Liverpool then managed to grind out results and finish in the top 4 for the second time in 8 years.
