A Preview of Liverpool's Chances This Season with Players to Watch

Liverpool 2016

Jurgen Klopp's first off season in charge has led to the introduction of seven new player signings along with nine pre-season games played, with varying results, as we have already covered.

What is the plan for the new recruits?

Klopp has beefed up the side's options in goal, midfield, and center-back, while also adding a touch of pace and size in attack. 

Sadio Mane is the main talking point for a lot of writers and critics, with most believing he will be an excellent fit for the team. Liverpool paid a handsome price for Mane, however only time will tell if the 24-year-old is worth the investment. 

Predictions for the Season

Ultimately, this is still a young side under a new coach, and although hopes are high, we shouldn't place a world of expectations on this season. That said, a top four finish would be an ideal result for this team. Having no European football to play this season is a big plus for the Reds. 

The opposition players are no slouches this year. With Jose Mourinho moving to Old Trafford, Antonio Conte to Stamford Bridge, and Pep Guardiola to Manchester City, a Champions League finish will not come easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Top Players to Watch

If Sturridge can keep fit this season, which is a big ask, he is very capable of scoring 20 plus goals. 

Another player that is maturing beautifully is Emre Can, a German international who has turned into an essential part of the midfield. Big things are expected of him this season. 

Roberto Firmino is likely to be a key player this year. Klopp has heaped praise on the young striker following a strong pre-season and a lot is expected of him in his second season.

I feel this season should be pretty good. Sadio is one of those I'm focused on not only for his ability to play but also his stamina which lessens substitutions in my opinion.

Firmino should be able to take the next step this season, I'm looking for a lot of production out of him.

Liverpool has a deep roster, filled with talent and sheer skill. How far they progress will not be by luck, but due to great team performance.
