Our style of play

[Patricks_Berger]

I really think that at home - against the likes of Swansea or anyone else turning up to park the bus - we'll be better off starting two up top.

We still haven't seen what Sturridge & Benteke are like together.

[dww]

I don't think it is the midfield. Our play consistently slows when we start Benteke.

For all the talk of Klopp's tactical acumen it seems odd that a clear pattern has emerged that he appears unwilling to change: start Benteke and we don't get our passing going, with a mobile forward like Firmino we do. We have mostly done it a) at home and b) against poor teams, yet we have had most success against better teams.

I hope this is part of us building a squad who know how to play Klopp's style of play rather than a bizarre blindspot in which Klopp believes that lesser teams can be simply bludgeoned into submission by a big man up top.

I would struggle to pick our best XI right now for a Champions League final. And that's not because we are full of average players, it's because so many our hitting high levels.

With everyone fit & firing who would be the starting XI & 7 subs? What a great position to be in.

I'd like to say that I believe Henderson is key to us rejuvenating our home performances.

Pressing, movement and good passing as well as aggression when in on goal. If we can couple that with Lucas and one of Can, Allen or Milner then we have a very energetic midfield that can gegenpress and deliver to Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana, Sturridge, Benteke or Origi.

Mig

Clyne -- Skrtel -- Sakho -- Moreno

Can -- Lucas -- Henderson

Sturridge -- Benteke -- Coutinho


Subs: Firmino, Origi, Allen, Milner, Lovren, Gomez, Bogdan

Note: Ings would have made it but Origi went and reminded us that he has talent too!

[DannyMan2006]

No Lallana? Or Ibe?

****ing hell, then you've got Markovic, Texeira, Ings too...

This is no definitive answer because we are playing for four trophies across 70 odd games and against different tactics and setups.

So in reality you'd have to think of the best team against expansive teams, defensive teams, counter attacking teams, in Europe or even whether we're home or away etc.

looking decent.

not so many obvious weak links on the pitch, for a change...

sex wax your boards, get ready to ride the wave... surfs up, dudes

Yep, opposing managers would never have guessed Klopp works with our players on the training ground until now. We are ****ed.

People said the same when Klopp went on MNF and "gave away our secrets". Think we've won every single game since.
