How would you have preferred it to be?
BFFs on paper but Diaz secretly be thinking, nah hermano i dont trust u to score..i trust mi amigo Jota more
Another reason why i sometimes think data science is a bit of a joke.
Like what the heck am i supposed to do with that above ? I have no idea what it's trying to tell me either. Ok Andy has made a lot of passes on the left flank, backwards, sideways and forwards. Well blimey nobody told us that when we purchased a LEFTBACK !
Yeah, I thought he'd played there before early season (or maybe pre season), but Klopp siad he had never played that position so I assuemd I was wrong.
Have to laugh at the Curtis fan boy getting upset because his favourite player was the only one Klopp trusted to play a different role for 45 minutes as an emergency measure.

Not sure you were wrong Tom.
From the Athletic......................
Klopp opted to move Jones out of his starting position in midfield, deploying the academy graduate in the same role he was asked to play in the Carabao Cup win over Leicester City here in September. Jones’ display that night was called “super-smart” by Klopp.
This needs stapling to Klopps door. Bradley looked so good because he was on an individual level but also because he played the role of a bloody RB. The whole Trent experiment pushes Robertson into being a short arse CB, too, so we lose width on both sides. It's infuriating.

Lets be honest, Klopps idea of a midfielder is all about pressing, running ... creative, chance creation and beating a player are way down on his list. The next manager is gonna think he has inherited an absolutue worldy when he sees Jones, and trust me Jones will be the man and the world will know him as the only rival to Jude Bellingham. That new manager is not gonna tell him to release the ball early or dont take players on, they will utilize every aspect of his full technical ability to make us consistent winners.
Look, we all know RB, and LB are shit positions in a football team, along with DM. So yeah, fanboy here is a bit upset, coz its like a step down.

Right back has proved to be a critical role for us this season & last season.
We played an academy right back for 4 games and he looked like prime Cafu, such is the poor quality of right back performance we’ve gotten used to.
Before Trent got injured, the RB role was working fine. Lot more solid than last season and we were beginning to see a lot chances offensively being created from there. SCM retrospecitively rewritting history again?. Feels like the injury to Trent maybe a lot more serious than originally thought though, he hasn’t look same since has comeback.
Because he changes those tactics mid game. I shared the list of games we moved Trent into mid and put someone else at RB. I think it was three games we were losing that we went on to win.
You make it seem like the only analysis of football you do it looking at the starting line up and the final result.
Would be great if it were that simple.
Amazing how we have done since we have been missing probably our best 2 offensive players this season before injuries/Afcon. Add Szbo to that and we really have had monumental injuries to our base currently.
To just focus on 4 winnable games after rhat doesn’t really tell the full story either. Big games at times need big game players and that’s what we have missed.

I havent said anything about Trent in my post though.
Full backs shit? You have obvoulsly seen us Play the last seven years or so.
You have in about 25 other 'head in sand' posts.
Thats a predjuiced attitude given there have been a number of tactical and player discussions.
Macca as the 6, Trent RB, Nunez left wing/striker, Szobo RCM, Diaz RW, Gomez LB.
Numerous of discussions, but Klopp makes it work. Regarding Trent there isnt much more to discuss.
Klopp plays him as an RB.
Although we weren't losing, you could add Burnley as another game on that list.
Trent was far superior when he had a full workhorse midfield covering and he did what he wanted on that right flank. Soon as that midfield lost it's legs and thus it's ability to cover the distance.....to shit we went. Trent hasn't really played as a RB for 11 months now, and nor should he again.
If there's 1 good thing that'll come from Xabi or whoever coming in, it's that we'll have likely seen the final nail in the coffin of the inverted system (which should've only ever been a temporary fix anyhow).
You say that - but City & Arsenal are using it as well. That usually means half the league will be doing in by the end of next season.
I’m not really sure why everyone has such a problem with a system that seems to be working fine.
I wouldn’t be too sure that Xabi will drop it either - he needs a box midfield for his short passing style to flourish.
If he were till go to a more rigid box midfield and utilise “wing backs” then that means we’ll lose one or possible two from our forward line because you end up with 2-2-2-2 or 3-2-2-1 through the centre with 2 wide players.
I’m looking at an inverted FB kind of being like a defensive end of the pitch version of what a False 9 brings..
Will fire it up mid week mate. We all need a break like the players
Speak for yourself! I've refreshed x3 today looking for that thread!
If going to shit means we are top of the league, in a cup final and still in the other two cup competitions at this stage of the season, then let me bathe in said shit forevermore
Going to shit was what we saw for the first 2/3s of last season when for some reason we still persisted with the same shit every week.
Now we've had our midfield rebuild it's a million times better.
