The absence of some players is not usually so critical on Merseyside, since the players who remain as substitutes usually perform at a high level. Such has been the case of the midfield, where after the absence of Alexis Mac Allister at the end of last year, now with the absence due to injury of Dominik Szoboszlai and due to participation with his national team Wataru Endo, his absence has not weighed so much on the team as was believed.
Both Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott have played a great role in the absence of the most common midfielders. So this casts doubt on what midfield Jürgen Klopp will occupy when he can count on a full squad. Which is undoubtedly a big question mark for this season.
At the beginning of the season Klopp found a great response from the reinforcements, as both Szoboszlai and Mac Allister demonstrated great qualities, quickly earning the team's starting place. Given this, there was only one doubt, and he was in the defensive midfielder position. Although Macca has done a great job in this position, it is not the Argentine's natural position, which reduces his attacking capabilities by having more defensive duties.
The level of Curtis, Harvey, Gravenberch has been increasing greatly, despite this the player who has best adapted to the style of play so far has been the Japanese Wataru Endo, who during the month of December won the starting position. , demonstrating its high level. Giving Mac Allister the opportunity to have greater freedom in attack and to generate more danger alongside Dominik Szoboszlai.
Although Klopp may have a starting team in mind, it is unlikely that he will be able to repeat it for several consecutive games, given both the level shown by all the players, in addition to the losses that the team will continue to have based on its progress. within the competitions in which you continue to participate.
