It remains to be seen how Klopp's next side will operate, but Núñez and Jude Bellingham suggest major changes are on the horizon.

Liverpool have 'Paul Pogba' transfer encouragement but FSG must accept possible new £94m reality

And odd as it may seem, six years on, Liverpool and FSG can take some serious encouragement from this transaction. As Champions League finalists from three of the last five campaigns, the club can still make a compelling pitch to would-be additions. If the worst happens, and Liverpool do fail to qualify for the Champions League, FSG will have to accept this reality. Manchester United missed out on the top four again, but they fought their way back into the Champions League via a Europa League triumph. Pogba’s time at Manchester United ultimately fizzled out as he failed to rise above the chaos around him.

Jürgen Klopp needs Darwin Núñez and Roberto Firmino change to bring back big Liverpool strength

The hosts were bottom of the Premier League at kick-off and, frankly, looked set to stay there all season. The data showed that Liverpool had created four big chances, and amassed 1.8 xG. One might see that Liverpool are more or less matching their xG and ask whether wastefulness is really a problem. In four of those games, they dropped points, even though they ‘beat’ Palace, Everton and Forest on xG. You would think that the Reds should look to Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Darwin Núñez who scored 86 between them last season.
