Well looked thru the last 3 pages..
If you are playing a tight packed defense you need width...you need players who can pick it up wide, come in at them, cut in or play a little grubber ball. But you need width and quality out there.
Klopp even said we need Salah wider..Salah is at his best when he picks up the ball, runs at people, throws dummies, drops his shoulder...whips one in..that's what he does...put him in the middle with his back to the goal and not moving in...at pace...with the ball...then you negate his skill.
We just tried all night to go thru traffic...expecting some miracle flick or one-two's..in a tight packed defense..that's why we didn't create enough. Yes we obviously did make a few chances but nowhere near enough.
Problem for us is Klopp, given that he said in his interview that we should have stretched the game, didn't get that message thru.
Klopp knows as well as any that if you try to trick your way thru a packed defense it is very difficult.
Did I expect some on here to...not really..
