Klopp has a lot to think about going into a season with so much going wrong in his camp.

Coutinho was instrumental to Liverpool’s preseason victories and will be missed sorely. Liverpool have got the necessary depth to fill in and not miss him for the Watford game, but who exactly will pull the strings in his absence?

Liverpool is already without players such as, Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana, and Daniel Sturridge. Thankfully enough, Klopp has young Trent and Dominic Solanke who both had exceptional preseasons.

At right back, Trent has really put in a shift for a youngster proving a point. He should start in right back. With new kid on the block, Dominic Solanke, who stepped up and keeps hitting it out the park. He will provide decent backup for Firmino.

It’s safe to say, Liverpool has those two positions covered but question remains, which player will take over from Coutinho in his absence?
