Because it’s Klopps identity/philosophy and our plan A if you like. Even though we’re 11th on that list, our style, system, tactics are still the same. But instead of having hendo, Fabinho and Gini (when played further forward) in the midfield, we’ve got jones, Thiago and Gini (sitting in front of the back four) who aren’t as energetic and don’t cover ground as much.
I saw Jürgen say in interview a few weeks ago that just because we’re going through a bad patch it doesn’t mean we should throw our identity away after we’ve been so successful with it for years. And I do agree with that completely. But as a temporary measure I think the gaffer needs to change things. Whether that’s the line up or the system.
This is pretty much spot on, trouble is though we haven’t got the players available to change the way we have been playing, it’s a fact that Jürgen’s system works but only if all the components of that system are fit and healthy, take just one component out and replace it with a inferior part and the system becomes weaker, take two or three or four out and it’s basically fu**ed, even if you exchange one or two components to use in other areas it’s doomed to fail, in short, we do not have the quality components needed to sustain our plan ‘A’,
We do not have a plan ‘B’, so the failing system remains and by using inferior components , it’s only going to end one way, total failure,
In a ideal world we should have two like for like components ready and able to play their part at any given time, or have the luxury of resting/rotating said parts, sadly, we’re no where near that, never really been close to it either truth be told, but, we have got by and we have done pretty amazing things, like all of the silver & a Title, with what we have had, and this is the difference between us and the oil backed oligarchs,
For us now, we need to bring in maybe five or six high quality components that will cost mega millions, two of which will probably spunk us upwards of £160m+, at the same time get rid of the deadwood and the never gonna be good enough’s,
Not going to list names that’s for another thread but if I were Jürgen I’d be having a long serious conversation with Micheal Edwards & co , hand him a shopping list and telling them, if you want LFC to remain at the top table get me these players, and get rid of these ones, only then can we have a serious pop at multiple titles & CL’s,
It’s time now for Jürgen to ruffle a few feathers I reckon, his nice guy, lovely smile attitude has been brilliant but I think he should start pointing out a few home truths to our owners, and demand who he wants in his squad, then maybe we can have the luxury of playing different styles or formations.
