We've played well all season apart from against Leicester and Napoli. I don't think they are playing better than us overall. Our front 3 still aren't really firing but no time like the present. I think Jürgen will be telling those 3 to play much closer together than they did against Napoli, and I think he will get a response to that defeat. He usually does - we've never lost 2 in a row under him. If the front 3 click, we'll win.
May or may not have noticed but I have an issue with Mo playing closer to Firmino. Yes they rely on inter play for a lot of the trickery but I like Mo to play wide right sometimes. As it is with him tucking in our play tends to go predominately down the left with Mane.
With Mo tucking in TAA had to play wing back almost and some of his crosses came to nothing this season. That has been a bit disappointing from TAA. Yes the front 3 playing in tandem can play off each other but we don't have the same penetration down the right side.
Shaq in there would give a bit more down the right but klopp has gone against that. I'll be looking at how much we create down the right if Mo tucks in.
