Ed, I think a lot of Liverpool’s success under Klopp has been because of the potency of the attacking players. In some ways I think Klopp built that team around that front 3 (Salah, Mane, Firmino) which maybe wasn’t healthy in the longer term and perhaps made us more dependent on them.
When Ronaldo left Utd the first time under Ferguson, it didn’t massively impact them because they were such a robust side throughout. Also because Liverpool has tended to rebuild more slowly, it means we would be impacted more by players leaving. Salah leaving now probably wouldn’t be as bad as it would have been a few seasons ago because the attack has been more refreshed recently and our attacking strategy I think is changing which is not a bad thing as it looks like we have a more traditional or robust midfield feeding the strikers and hopefully scoring goals themselves.
