Mac Allister or Curtis Jones playing as number 6, the tough decision Klopp must make to face Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp has a big challenge at the Reds, where he must decide who will occupy a key place in the team. Liverpool find themselves in a tricky situation as the start of the new Premier League season approaches: the central midfield position, essential in Klopp's tactical scheme, is still without a definite starter. With just a few days to go until the start of the league, the clock is ticking against the Reds.

According to recent reports, Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister are the only options being considered to fill this crucial midfield role. Both players, while talented, represent internal solutions that may not be sufficient to cope with the intensity and demands of such a competitive league.  It is worth noting that Mac Allister's primary position is not central midfield, but that at Brighton, his former club, he has played there on several occasions.

Just a few days ago, it was rumoured that Liverpool were ready to make an offer for a new midfielder. In addition, the possibility of a double transfer valued at $108 million was mentioned. However, there are still no official confirmations on the matter. The fans are anxiously awaiting news about possible additions to strengthen the team.

The decision

With time running out, Klopp must make quick and wise decisions. The No6 position is not just a number in the line-up; it is a pivotal place in Liverpool's tactical jigsaw. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, two key players in recent years, left in this transfer window. The right choice could be the difference between a successful season and a challenging one.
