Five problems Jurgen Klopp needs to fix at Liverpool, including the centre-forward dilemma

5) Decide how to use Christian Benteke and Daniel Sturridge

This is going to be tricky for the incoming boss. He’s only ever played with one centre-forward, and Benteke’s power and hold-up attributes arguably make him more suitable. The Belgian also cost £32.5m, so like with Firmino, it’s imperative that Klopp fits him into a formation. But Daniel Sturridge, now healthy and raring to go, is arguably our best and most important player. Will Klopp use Sturridge on the right in a slightly withdrawn role, or is that a waste of his ability in front of goal? Of course, if he wants to use the Englishman centrally, he’ll have to adapt his standardly utilised 4-2-3-1 formation, or use Benteke in rotation.
