I think Klopp has got his tactics wrong with our Midfield. Having watched every game this season, he plays three in Midfield in every match, and I don't think our Midfielders are good enough to carry it off.
He plays Henderson Can and Wjnaldum, or Even Milner in most games, and I don't think they are strong enough to defend against counter attacks, like against City and Spurs, we got run ragged.it's easy to get overrun against attacking teams.
Sometimes you have to play 4/5 in midfield, or have a sweeper to compensate in certain games.
If we had a strong midfield of Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano etc, then yes, play 3. But our current personnel are not up to the job of attacking, and defending in the same matches. As well as having a shaky defence also.
I feel this is suicide by Klopp in certain matches. Our midfield are not world class, and I think the manager is very nieve in his tactics,(ie: playing 3 average midfielders away at Spurs) has no plan B or imagination.. He's deluded if he thinks that will win you a league title, playing 4-3-3 in every match.
