Actually, before the south American tournament I have not even heard of a Brazilian player called Firmino, sorry.
Honestly, Firmino is quite skilful and can come good probably next season onwards. So, I would cut him some slack. Benteke, on the other hand, is a different story. This guy can score and he can score with his feet too! However, his workrate is really below par for such a young player.
If Klopp had already had a heart to heart chat with him, then I think he will probably be warming the bench from now on or as soon as Sturridge or Origi returns.
I think Klopp will keep both Couts and Firmino but Lallana is a ?? If he can avoid losing too much he will probably sell Benteke. A lot depends on Klopp's ability to attract the right players this summer.
Completely agree, I never heard of him too. But like you said, he is skillful and good with the ball, but often became invisible and doesnt even touch the ball for a long time. I'll wait and see how he adapt to EPL.
And again spot on with Benteke, he certainly can score amazing goals, and he did scored to save our asses a few times. But something just not right with him, with his body build, he is supposedly bullying the defender, but instead he dropped down almost every time when a defender came near him. Not to mentioned he never run to create spaces, he just stood there waiting for ball, then when the ball reaches him, his first touch will make him lose the ball, his acceleration is worst of them all.
I don't mind keeping Lallana, I know he always do unnecessary fancy turn and dribbling when there is no defenders around. But his work rate is impressive, he did a lot of impressive dummy run pulling defenders away.
