Liverpool’s Best Line-up For This Season: Starting Spots For The Big Money Signings?

Liverpool’s Best Line-up

Liverpool look to exorcise the ghosts from last season with their first game of the season coming against the same team that hammered them 6-1 on the last game of the previous season. This isn’t the same Liverpool team from last year, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling have departed while a host of new players have signed for the club.

The signings of Benteke and Firmino should play huge roles for the Reds this season and we look ahead to the first game and season by presenting the strongest line-up Liverpool have based on the players in their squad.

Simon Mignolet

The one player who actually ended last season with a lot of praise, Mignolet will face competition from newcomer Adam Bogdan but should be the number 1 for Liverpool this season.

Nathaniel Clyne

One of the most consistent players in the league last season, Clyne’s capture can be seen a coup by the Reds and is a great replacement for Glen Johnson, who has left the Reds.

Martin Skrtel

All the talk about Skrtel leaving the club was swiftly done away with the Slovakian signing a new long-term contract with the Merseyside club.

Dejan Lovren

This is a tough one, although it could be that Mamadou Sakho replaces Lovren, we can see the Croatian starting in most games for Liverpool, during the beginning of the season.

Joe Gomez

One of the other new boys who has provided some great performances, signed from Charlton, the youngster might be a centre-back but seems extremely comfortable playing down the left for Liverpool.

James Milner

The perfect person to replace an outgoing legend like Steven Gerrard, Milner might not be the same player as Gerrard but he is capable of doing great things in midfield and provides a wealth of experience to the Liverpool team.

Jordan Henderson

The midfielder will have to pull his socks up if he is to help Liverpool get back into the top four. Henderson’s form could be pivotal as Liverpool try to get back to Europe’s elite competition.

Philippe Coutinho

The star player in attack for Liverpool, if Coutinho can be more consistent for the Reds this season, he could push Liverpool higher than expected.

Roberto Firmino

The big money signing will have to do extremely well because of the price tag, but Firmino should be ably supported by Coutinho and co.

Daniel Sturridge

Un-fit and injured at the moment, Sturridge might miss a couple of months of the season but he should be playing in the first team for Liverpool this season, probably in a wide position.

Christian Benteke

The big Belgian was another big money signing by the Reds and should spearhead the club’s attack this season.
