Our style of play

[DeeTheDog]

which makes 10

****in hell, we could be here all night

I make that 3-4-3 which makes it 11.

[SB]

Playing with 10 men would seriously hamper us

i did see that but i thought i'd let it ride to try and encourage some debate

and possibly spare SB's blushes. ahh **** it

At least you can count dude. Not sure what the other pair are on but I’ll pass on it.

[SB]

I think he means Sturidge or Solanke as one player, flanked by Firmino and Salah.

your quicker than the others.

[labourRed]

your quicker than the others.

Not much of a compliment when the others can't count past 10 though.

ahh, so what he meant was;
Mig
Gomez Matip Klavan
Milner Can Coutinho Wijnaldum
Salah Sturridge/Solanke Firmino

yes, indeed 11.

True that. Like an able bodied athlete winning the disabled games gold medal.

Your special you are.

[baitman]

You're special, you are.

fixed it for you, you able bodied athlete, you

and we are 'special' not disabled

So Klopp in his post match presser alluded heavily to a different style of play and the need to change things because of the number of recent games and also the number of goals conceded recently ( I think ). Gerrard suggested after the game we were playing two holding midfielders tonight (v WHam) - Can't say I noticed, but then I never notice these things. Was there a big style change? Is it durable? As I write, 1 goal conceded in 3 is not bad, even though the opposition is not that great - will we carry on playing this way away from home? Has Klopp gone some way to solving the defensive woes? He has at least recognised them and appears willing to change things in order to remedy it - is it enough?

It seems we are playing with a different set up defensively when we have the ball, sometimes with 3 at the back but all the while keeping it as back 4. Today was more like 4 in midfield and Salah playing behind Firmino. I thought we were poor for 20 mins in the second half when the game was out of our control. It might be due to the fact we changed the system slightly in midfield but I cannot see this as a permanent change in set up.

As the great Bob Marley once said

No Lovren, no goals
NO LOVREN.... NO GOALS

Lovren will be back in the next game I'm sure.

There some tweeks at the Huddersfield game, not massively obvious as the starting positions looked the same, we would drift between old and new in different situations. Only watched on the tele yesterday and noticed the 442 a couple of times.

I've been concerned that Klopp has had too much faith in the system he has been using, its nice to seem him willing to change it up

I think he seemed to tuck Gomez in and perhaps he flipped the CM from one to two. Like you I'm glad he's tweaking the system in response to being too open. But I still think the real answer to our problems lie in recruitment. Those three games are games we should be winning on paper and comfortably... The defence didn't have much to do against Huddersfield who came to draw, Maribor who are a cut above a pub team and West Ham who are piss poor (and even then we had a defensive howler).
