With the transfer window closed, it looks looks like we know what Klopp's preferred team will probably be. Personally, I would've moved Trent into midfield and signed a RB (a traditional type) but what do I know.

My question is with this tactical change, what is the long term plan for Robertson? It's clear we're not moving back to what made him such a good player and he just doesn't suit this new shape and it clearly doesn't play to his strengths.

Also, having signed 4 midfielders, do you think this is the end for Curtis Jones? All these midfielders would suggest he's not rated that highly and I just don't see where he'll play.

What do you think will happen to these two?

One thing you can guarantee about Robbo is that he will work as hard as he can to adapt to the new shape. I’d back him to get it right myself but others won’t agree.

As for Curtis and we can add Harvey Elliott this too, they have competition for their spot in the team. Both can be good enough but both need to work hard to be more consistent.

The cream will rise to the top and the others will be squad and cup players. No shame in that every team needs a good squad.

Hopefully Klopp will go back to a back 4. Especially know we have legs for days in the midfield.

Europa league group looks great for giving Elliott, Jones, doak, quansah minutes and experience. Add the league Cup to that and they should get plenty of games to prove themselves and stake a claim.

Like that'legs for days in the midfield' statement. Feels good to have confidence in the middle. In addition to speed and resourcefulness.

Everyone was saying we lost four midfielders so we signed four. doesn't effect Jones at all, still competing against the same number as last year. When fit he'll get games.
