Liverpool: Klopp mocks question asked in press conference
Kylian Mappe is continuing to be linked with a big-money move to Liverpool, and although it seems unlikely at this stage, the transfer could potentially happen one day. So just how would the Paris Saint-German star fit in with Liverpool’s current starting line-up?

"They're like a machine, they've found a rhythm and are like 'we play again, we play again'.
"They've lost zero games. When you watch you think everything's easy but that's not easy. The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win.
"Now the problem is that everybody watches Liverpool, and everybody watches what we can do against them, so now they have to show they are strong again but it's a very good team with a very good manager."

“At this moment it would be a headache for Liverpool if we had him here because our attacking trio is very good.”
“But I know Mbappe’s quality, he’s already one of the best players in the world, so he would obviously improve any team. Right now he plays for Paris Saint-Germain and we have to respect that.”
So just where would Mbappe fit into Liverpool’s starting XI?
The club already have a menacing front three of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

But Mbappe, with 14 goals already this season, adding to the 33 he got for PSG in the league last season, would have to play in Liverpool’s line-up.
In a potential 4-2-3-1 formation, however, you could play all four stars, if Mbappe plays up top on his own with the current front three behind him.
Firmino plays deeper than Mane and Salah so the role would suit him, while Mane and Salah can operate at wingers/forwards.
