Liverpool have a long history of having world class players, but the last few years have seen a few club legends retire, and a couple top players move on to other teams with more recent success. At the moment, I wouldn't put any player on the squad in the world class category.
The closest we have to world class would be Coutinho #10 and Sturridge #15. Coutinho still has a lot of inconsistencies in his game still, but he is one of the only players capable of changing a game by himself. Sturridge is a fantastic goal scorer, but he is rarely healthy enough to play these days. If he could ever stay healthy he could be one of the top two or three strikers in the league, but I wouldn't count on that happening.
Beyond those two, two newcomers in Benteke #9 and Firmino #11 look like they could be big difference makers this season. Both have made the team look much better when playing, and can add a lot to the attack.
Henderson #14, our captain, has yet to play under Klopp because he has been out with injury, but he has a lot of qualities that should enable him to flourish under the new manager. And in defence, our best player IMO is Sakho #17, who has looked immense since the manager change.
