The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

That's what Mo Salah was last season.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

He was the best for Liverpool, definitely, but I think you can argue he was the league's best striker, best winger and best number 10.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

He gets more goals than anyone else and more assists than anyone else, and he dictates how the champions attack.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And now he's leaving.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

So Liverpool have gone and got the best possible number 10.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

They've gone and got the best possible number 9.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And now what they need is a couple of wingers to ally into this.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And then what you need to do, and then it's back to your thing, where you've committed to Gravenberg.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

So you're looking at one other starter who might be supposed to lie.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

Could be Curtis Jones, could be McAllister, but I suspect it might be someone that Liverpool bring in.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And then you're able to say, right, this is what the side is.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

That lad dictates, this lad runs, there's the number 10.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And it could be that Sabazlai ends up getting a bumper contract out of Liverpool because they look at it and they go, well, he can play there, he can play there, he can play there, and you're never going to play the same team every week.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

But look how good he is at being able to do all that.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And he can even play right back for you as well.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And then I think the next thing then for Liverpool becomes who's departing and then what it is that you're building.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And then the next phase that I think, and I get in your building blocks, I don't think you've got Gakpo.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

But I think Gakpo's a really important one for the season because what he gives you is the stability, the knowledge, the know-how that he's got.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

I know he's not a lot of people's favourite player at the minute, but if you're going to transition in with two new wingers plus Rio...

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool’s Last Great Team & The Next: TAW Unwrapped

And then you get a year more out of Gakpo, and then hopefully Rio is ready now to absolutely rock and roll properly with one more year's development.
