Interesting to watch how 2 blokes who know each other so well set up their teams.
It seems clear that Wagner wanted to nullify the threat Moreno poses down the left, and every time he got the ball he was pushed up on very quickly, which in turn meant he dropped deeper, and as the opposition went with him, it left a gap in behind that we really should have exploited more, so that particular tactical battle goes to Klopp, as does the right hand side in the 2nd half, with both Henderson and Milner helping to create an overload on that side, which in turn left Moreno and Firmino a lot of space on the left.
Put Sturridge in a team that is set up for him, and he will shine, but as things stand, he hasn't adapted his game to the demands Klopp makes on his forwards.
