How is he an unknown entity ?
There's nothing mysterious about Klopp's system - and we know Ings will fit in fine.
Whether he's fit enough is the question
Klopp thinks different..
He sees his 3 Strikers as Sturridge, Firmino and Origi..
Ings is 4th choice... And judging by Klopps recent comments, sadly he looks like he is on his way out..
[article]“Benteke, Balotelli, Ings, all the other strikers… they are really good strikers,” Klopp began, reported in the Echo.
“But at the end, having six strikers is a little too much, but is still possible.
“If we make presents because we have ‘too many strikers’, that’s the biggest mistake.
“Until August 31, I could change my mind. I’m not that type of guy but I could. We will see what happens.”
The fact Klopp has name-dropped the 24-year-old Englishman along with Benteke and Balotelli – who the whole of Europe knows are up for sale – is damning – in truth.
Ings spent almost the entirety of last season fighting to get fit following his ruptured ACL, but the way Klopp’s used him during pre-season has also been indicative of the fact he won’t be first-choice. When deployed, Ings has been with the second-choice XIs, instead of alongside guaranteed first-teamers like Coutinho, Sadio Mane and the like.
Balotelli and Benteke will almost certainly leave, but it’ll likely be a wait to see if Ings is willing to wait for an opportunity. Without Europe, his chances of minutes rely on the injuries of those ahead of him.. [/Article]
