00:00 We've spoke on the situation at the back, with not amazing numbers there, midfield has suffered.
00:06 But it's almost as if Liverpool have a good problem with the numbers up top.
00:09 They've got plenty of world-class talent up top to choose from.
00:14 Is this a good problem for Jurgen Klopp to have?
00:18 Who needs to impress him the most going into the season?
00:20 Yeah, I think, you talk about managerial headaches,
00:24 I think managers have headaches when they haven't got the options.
00:26 When they have got the options, that's what they want.
00:28 I think they've got a lot of players in Liverpool for last season.
00:32 They didn't have enough options because of injuries.
00:34 It was Diaz and Thiago Oduhota spending a large chunk of the campaign on the treatment table.
00:40 Roberto Firmino as well, that's a few niggles.
00:43 It's not just a few of the players can play in one position.
00:49 Thiago Oduhota can play right across the front line.
00:52 Koxi Gakpo can play central on the left.
00:55 Gakpo plays a little bit deeper against Krusev.
00:59 I think in his head Klopp will have his preferred front three.
01:04 But sometimes it's horse and horses against the opposition you might play.
01:09 Sometimes it's about who's confident, who deserves to be in the team at times.
01:16 Klopp will be saying, "Let the battle commence."
01:20 Because as we say, we've got those five, plus Ben Zouk who has done well in pre-season.
01:25 It's a looking goal for Jürgen Klopp to say that Liverpool didn't have problems scoring goals last season.
01:32 But I don't think this season I can see them being a real pump force in the final third.
