John Locke 1,196 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think that tells you they lack a reliable goalscorer. I'm sure there will be games where they score heaps of goals but i think the signs are they will struggle with consistency again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abo 3,407 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 How to make a mockery our of Klopp 101 A - Park the bus and don't attack with high numbers B - Play a deep defensive line, pack the midfield and allow Klopp's team to have the ball Can't wait to see Spurs play Liverpool, Pochettino vs Klopp, managers who are obsessed with pressing going against each other. But one of those two is actually a fairly tactical manager while the other is a glorified idiot in a tracksuit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has nothing to do with a reliable goalscorer, they could've had Lewanowski there and they wouldn't have scored. Klopp's teams are never comfortable with they have the ball and the other team is their natural possession. When they have the ball and the other team is setting deep and in their positions, Klopp's teams struggle to make clear cut chances. They had 26 chances but only 5 were on target and that says it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty managers especially in Netherland and Germany where the ,,computer" football was created (in other words they killed the clasic creative football as a result ) hasn't plans B and C . Against well organized defences is mad to organize allways the attacks with plenty passes from behind . Even Pep -the man who is related with the most successful possesion football had a variants with a mid and long range passes directed around or into the box and playing wide for a while. I am not the biggest Mou's fan .Even these days I was critical to him regarding Bastian and Mata treatment ,but for his transfers I have to say only positive words. He collected footballers who can act on their own and by the freedom given they are the one who decide games. Against Southampton United had only about 40 % possesion ,but always looked so dominant .

Biggest example of that is Bayern last season in the CL. Against Juve they crossed the ball more than Moyes team and ended up scoring from wide and beat Juve. Pep might not had the most successful spell in Germany, but his tactics became much more flexible in Germany, which is scary. And yeah, its topical of Mourinho to get results with no possession, United had 40% but we locked more dominant with those 40% than Southampton did with their 60%. Best thing about Mourinho is that even when he builds his side to counter, they always manage to perform well in possession. Inter 2010 is the highlight of Mourinho's career imo, his side was lethal on the counter, dicking away two possession obsessed managers in LvG and Pep but at the same time in Serie A Inter played very comfortably when they had the ball and never struggled to create chances. This is the difference in the quality of Mou and Klopp. Both of them favour counter attacking football, but one is a tactical mastermind who has a plan B and who builds teams that are comfortable with the ball, while the other has 0 backup plans and his teams can't breakdown organized teams. It's gonna be an interesting season in the PL with Ranieri, Pep, Mou and Arsene as the experienced managers while we had Koeman, Conte, Billic, Klopp and Pochettino as the young upcoming managers.

It's kind of true, but that game was a freak. 81% possession, 26 shots and 12 corners. Coutinho was poor on the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
