This system is SOOO demanding. Hendo, Fab, Gini, Milner, etc. They were all ask to do soo much running. Bobby too. However, eventually it catches up with you. This system absolutely works if you're young and new (I forsee Darwin and Gakpo to do well in time). But when you're older and worn down, you start to show in your legs. We have a bunch of players who are at this point. It happens.
The short term answer is change the tactics. Swallow your pride and go with a 4-2-3-1. The long term answer is most of the players who helped you win everything are going to have to go or take a back seat to newer players.
I'm starting to wonder if Klopp is capable of doing this..... Year 7 funk isn't completely crazy theory when you watch what we're producing this season. We're asking our players to do things I don't think they're capable of doing week in and week out. Maybe we need to ask the club and manager to try something new?
