#3 Hard for Coutinho to find a consistent spot in this team

Klopp’s pressing system works best in the 4-3-3 and even though they managed to keep Coutinho, it’s hard to see him fit in that three-man midfield. The trio of Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum complement each other really well and they have the muscle factor as well.

Coutinho is obviously more attack-minded and creative and would ideally be the best option on the left or in a 4-2-3-1 setup. But will Klopp chop and change to that degree? We’ll have to wait and see.

After he came on, he played on the left of the midfield but it's hard to see what he'll offer apart from his creativity. The likes of Can and Wijnaldum, on the other hand, are hard working players and have a role to play in turnovers.
