Last season in the period where we lost our gap on City we drew against United and Everton, Klopp was reluctant to change midfielders for forwards.
Perhaps those teams had more of a cutting edge when the game became open and Klopp was weary of that, but I wonder if it's a change of policy.
I said after about an hour that we may want to stretch the game and risk losing in order to win. Origis impact made it end to end and both teams had more chances.
2 draws gets 2 points and a win and a loss is 3. I think it's well worth the risk at this stage of the season to be willing to lose in order to win.
It took us a few minutes to adjust alright, but most of their attacks came down our right, and it was a clear tactic from them to have players high and wide, and also use them to press, which we didn't deal with particularly well after Henderson went off.
I don't think of Klopp as someone who is averse to risk taking, but given we failed to win the league by 2 points, I reckon he's keen to try and force games where in a league without a city type team, he'd be happy with a point.
So, perhaps a bit less pragmatism and a bit more "F**k it, we'll go for it"
