The additions of Sadio Mané and Georginio Wijnaldum address another long-standing issue of Liverpool lacking directness and goals from midfield. Further, the transformation of players previously criticized under Brendan Rodgers is another positive point under the German coach.
Summer signing Roberto Firmino came into his own under Klopp with a series of dazzling displays in the second half of the season, heavily criticized Dejan Lovren rejuvenated his career and Emre Can had finally started to show his immense potential in central midfield.
A specially designed mini pre-season for the injury prone Daniel Sturridge in December-January saw him go injury-free in the final months of the season. When fit, he is a truly world-class player. Divock Origi seemed a lost cause until Klopp transformed him into one of the most exciting young player at the moment.
With a multitude of options in attack, having players who can play multiple positions, good competition for places, quality players such as Philippe Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge among others who can single-handedly win games and a young squad with only new signing Ragnar Klavan and James Milner being of 30 years of age, there is a genuine chance for this side to beat the remaining teams for the title.
