Two quality stars have already departed from Liverpool, which can lead to a slightly poorer performance on the field. The two players who left the club too soon should be replaced by new players. Liverpool must think they can sign better players than left.
Klopp is really taking a risky move by selling their two veteran midfielders, it's similar like Chelsea. Although the performance of both Chelsea and Liverpool in club friendlies are good enough, but we don't know what will happen in the real match.
Chelsea and Liverpool lack of midfielders.
Manchester United lack of strikers.
I would say Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United are shining in this season.
I also think Klopp allowing two of his most experience midfielders the duo of Henderson and Fabinho to leave the club for Saudi Arabian clubs could backfire in the long run because relying on his two new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai might not yield much impact, the other midfielders like Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic don't really have much experience except Tiago who is injury prone, premier league is becoming very competitive and for Liverpool to remain consistent in clinching atleast a top 4 spot they needed some experienced players combined with the new signings to matchup with other top clubs in the league
