There is no question that Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino will go down in Anfield folklore.&nbsp;Every party has to end sometime, though, and it has felt in recent months as though, after four years of MSF, the time may have come to shake things up.

So how would they go about it, then? Are there players out there who match up, in terms of skillset?
