Jurgen Klopp is pounding £250m with his five great new forwards - he has to find a formula to keep them all happy as he builds his second-biggest Liverpool team
Klopp has all five of his elite strikers fit and ready to be re-selected
Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz all look like they'll be fighting for a few minutes
Mohammed Salah and Cody Gakpo seem to have secured the starting role
Jurgen Klopp limped away from The Kop, clutching his hamstring as he entered the tunnel.
The manager's head must have hit. Not just for the adrenaline and emotions of the ultimate winner of Diogo Jota.
But because this victory over Tottenham leaves the Liverpool boss with questions as well as answers. Well, one in particular:
How best to organize his assault arsenal, now that the five are fit and shooting? That's a £250 million question.
Admittedly it wasn't the kind of headache that would get much sympathy from his colleagues.
Liverpool's win over Tottenham has raised questions about how Jurgen Klopp should handle his strikers

But one thing for Klopp to deal with as Liverpool's new look enters a new era.
Sunday's win saw Luis Diaz (who cost £50m) score his first goal in more than six months.
It was created by rookie No 9 Cody Gakpo (£44m), who after a slow start at Merseyside now has two goals and two assists in his last four appearances. Mohamed Salah (who signed the club's biggest signing last year) scored Liverpool's third to take their total to five from five.
Jota's injury-time strike (£41m) was his fifth in his last four Premier League appearances. He also has a support in this run.
Oh, and Darwin Nunez (£85m) also benefited from showing up late. Fabio Carvalho, 20 (£7.7m), meanwhile watching from the bench. Roberto Firmino is on his way out this summer, but despite all the conflicts this season, Liverpool have built up a formidable array of attacking options for next year and beyond.
Fitness and fitness issues mean that at least one person has been dropped from the team since the start of the year.

However, now, Klopp has in hand a great five. Now he has to find a recipe to keep them all happy.
European football will facilitate the mixing of its peloton but still:
Klopp's system means that at least one person will always be missing - at least in the beginning. But who? Diaz had such an impact after arriving last January and delivering dazzling reminders of his most tenacious talent against Tottenham on Sunday.
Salah remains Liverpool's biggest attacking weapon and his number of goals this season - 28 - is almost double anyone else's. No one can match his 11 assists.
Salah's goal against Tottenham lifted his record to 28 goals and 11 assists so far this season.
After injury problems and a barren period, Jota once again proved his worth with his intelligence and knack for scoring important goals. Gakpo seems to have established himself as Klopp's top 9 choice, with the Dutchman's linking play, dribbling and technique starting to shine.
And then there's Nunez, who at 23 is a brilliantly chaotic bunch.
