HOW TO MOVE ON...

...WITHOUT MANE!

Simply put 4:3:3 without Mane just doesn't work, as proven in January. There's a thin line between Klopp’s Genius and occasional Madness as we saw yesterday but he has to stop being stubborn, and move to a 4:4:2 Diamond:

---------------MIGNOLET---------------
CLYNE -LOVREN - MATIP - MILNER
--------------- LUCAS -----------------
---------CAN -------- WIJNALDUM------
-------------- COUTINHO --------------
---------FIRMINO------ORIGI-------

If you look at our 1st goal yesterday it actually came from a direct attack with Origi & Firmino in centre forward (roaming) positions and Coutinho ghosting in and supporting. Our upcoming fixtures are all against teams who are pretty direct themselves, so sacrificing some possession for much more penetration is the surely the way forward short-term.

Either way without your Mane man you are screwed.

I agree with the 2 crafty cockneys in way, not the wheel chair geezer, but if we get studge and orgi going, defend properly at the back who knows

I think people pay too much attention to formations.

Whether you play 4-3-3 or the diamond, the same players are likely to be on the pitch. It's about how they interchange and find space. Even if we played a diamond one of the top 2 would go wide regularly to move the defenders around anyway.

We'll miss Mane because of his pace and directness imo not the needs of a formation.
