Jürgen Klopp is set to make a significant change for Liverpool following the 3-3 draw against Brighton in Premier League action, according to the Daily Mail.
JÜRGEN KLOPP SET TO TAKE ACTION AT LIVERPOOL
So far this season, the Reds have looked far from their usual selves under the German tactician.
Liverpool currently sits ninth in the Premier League with just ten points from a possible 21 to their name, after winning only two of their opening seven Premier League games.
Klopp’s team was also humiliated in the Champions League, falling 4-1 to Napoli.
According to the Daily Mail, the 55-year-old is seriously considering abandoning his preferred 4-3-3 formation.
Klopp is said to be considering switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation ahead of tonight’s Champions League match against Rangers at Anfield.
That is the rumored system set to take over from the 4-3-3 setup, although the Liverpool boss could also do something more surprising such as a three-man backline with wing-backs.
Klopp has Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas, and Trent Alexander-Arnold at his disposal, so a wing-back system is certainly possible.
JÜRGEN KLOPP MUST USE LIVERPOOL XI IN 4-2-3-1
In our view, moving his Liverpool side to a 4-2-3-1 formation would do a lot to shore them up defensively.
So far this season, Liverpool’s matches have resembled a basketball game, where the play goes from one end to the other almost immediately – the Reds have not managed transitions well.
However, if Klopp deploys a midfield pivot of Fabinho and Thiago, and instructs them to sit ahead of the defense, an attacking quartet of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez should be able to do the business without worrying about what will happen if they lose possession.
Hopefully, Liverpool can rediscover their form of old tonight against Rangers.
