Despite Liverpool's crisis, this is the only irreplaceable player, not Salah

Within the long process of selecting all the players who will remain at the Merseyside club for the 2023-2024 campaign, there are some who have managed to save their tenure almost immediately with their performances in recent months, reaffirming Jurgen Klopp's confidence in them by seeing them as the experienced agents who will guide the way for the younger players and the reinforcements in this gradual change.

Although the likes of Virgil VanDijk, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker look the least likely to be left out of Klopp's plans, it is clear with the departure of Sadio Mané that almost no player is assured of a place at Liverpool, with Jordan Henderson, who perhaps has a lower profile, the only irreplaceable player at the moment being a complete surprise.

Despite being 32 years old and a central midfielder without constant activity, Henderson's leadership is still a very useful piece in the scheme used by the German tactician, Klopp worrying about a future where the young reinforcements absorb all the experience of his veteran element in order to have a midfield that terrifies everyone in the Premier League, being for that reason the England international a valuable piece that is above the offensive power of the Egyptian or the incredible defensive work of the Dutchman.

Klopp and his fascination with a dominant midfield

Should Klopp be able to have a dominant midfield every game he plays, some elements even in attack will cease to be of great use, with Salah possibly heading the list of future departures as Nunez and Gakpo will now be in charge of the scoring. Perhaps the German coach was enlightened by the current campaign of bad fortune and saw the mistakes he needs to correct as soon as possible.
