There once was a story about three kings who went to Bethlehem. Now this story involves a knight, a magician, and a warrior, who return to the motherland Anfield after the international break.

Liverpool and manager Klopp, welcome a trio of absentees back to action. Long time injury victim Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho the Liverpool player with the Barcelona under sweater, and Sadio Mane who’s already returned to action abnormally and played emphatically in Liverpool’s victory over West Ham.

The Reds slow start to their league campaign, inconsistent European run and Carabao Cup exit, tells the story of missing these three at different stages and sometimes, all together. Poor finishing in front goal, gutless performances, and a lack of energy on the pitch, weighs heavily on Lallana, Coutinho and Mane, missing from first team action.

Each of them own an irreplaceable influence to the Reds gameplay. When the exclusion of one of them transpires, their specific characteristic is evidently missing on the pitch.
