Think its evident that, Fekir's profile in pressing, ball recoveries, speed and flexibility high on the pitch is better than Firmino's and Lallana's who are our pressing merchants.

hence Klopp, coaching Firmino to play as a "dynamic 10' kama Fekir anavyocheza Lyon, pressing with speed, zoning flexibility and driving the ball from deeper areas.

Think Klopp "likes" Hendo's personality. he bought two players who are miles better than him kwenye two positions ambazo anacheza, if he rated him highly, ange-settle for good back-ups kama Ndidi, Diawara etc but he spent more than 100m on two top CMs. you dont buy RCB like Varane, Pique, Laporte etc for 70m etc kwa-ajili ya rotation or back-up for VVD, logically you'd spend that money on a WC RCB because you think VVD is not good enough, and thats exactly what Klopp alifanya kuhusiana na Henderson.

he's just a good squad player ambaye anaweza kufill the gap akiwa anahitajika. thats it.

Hendo can prove to be a valuable squad player but a player of his standard cant surely be a starter kwenye Club ambayo ina ambtion ya kuwin big trophies, ukiachana na kuwa Captain.

The squad has outgrown him, now we have players who are better leaders than him (Allison, VVD, Robertson, Milner), CMs who are better than him (Fabinho, Gini, Keita, Milner),

You can run and cover countless distance without the ball, but if you lack positional awareness, ball control, ball calmness, making progressive passes, breaking the lines, creating ball and line spaces, drive with the ball, composure, distribution, retention etc hauna haki ya kuitwa good CM.

Lallana is our most realiable player without the ball.

I respect your opinion but I beg to differ on Klopp playing Hendo because literally speaking "he's sleeping with him"? I'll be damned!

you and I both know Klopp is a professional - a WC tactician without a shadow of the doubt. he'll never pick a player unmerited.

as for Fekir attributes you have highlighted, there's a perspective there:
one, he's been showcasing whatever qualities he possesses in the mediocre Ligue 1 for heaven's sake; and
two, it's well documented that he's a fragile "queen". Klopp is too smart to splash 50M quid on someone who's likely to end up being an expensive occupant of the Melwood treatment table!
so, I think it's a misplaced conception to compare Fekir with the physically stable, EPL/Bundesliga proven and more intelligent Firmino.

Klopp rigthly splashed the cash in reinforcing our midfield primarily because one (Ox & Keita), the likes of Lallana became no more reliable and two (Fabinho), that department became threadbare in the run towards the UCL final last term.

Hendo played vs the physically and technically gifted Napoli. we saw what he brought to the team.
he's rightly benched vs Manure and in came Fabinho and the rest is history.

Klopp is utilizing his resources very wisely. like today vs the Wolves....he has rested Gini after seeing how exhausted he had been and also considering the hectic schedule around the festive season.

I'll start hammering Hendo when he's due for that but up to this minute..... sorry it's going to be Klopp & I against the whole world!
