Should be our permanent future at LB. The kid just had IT last season before his injury.
He's a fill in LB. If he's our best option, we're in trouble. Provides almost nothing going forward, has no left foot, no real dribble threat, etc.
He was good for a three game stretch to begin the season because he's strong defensively and played pretty well defending space. But he provided nothing going forward, and was in fact a liability that didn't even attempt passes to guys that were running into open space. His "assist" was just a normal pass that Cou turned into a wonder goal.
Pretty sure his liabilities were exploited (the ManU game?) and he didn't feature there near as often afterwards.
He's gifted and can fill in at LB, but he's not a LB and is definitely not one under Klopp, who wants his Fbs to be able to attack.

I still don't like Mane's price, but I'm coming around to him being a good option. Mainly based upon reading about his time at Salzberg - basically, they pressed the hell out of teams. Very compact offensive formation who focused on winning the ball back immediately (their being compact offensively meant that when the ball turned over, they were able to attack the compact space the other team had to be in to cover them as a defense, and thus made it easier to win the ball back immediately again).
He may be just what Klopp needs to unleash his system.
