Coaches interviews tell us a lot about how they want their teams to play. If the right questions are asked... and if the coach is open enough about it.
Klopp, after the Chelsea win, showed what he wants Liverpool to do when they have the ball and are trying to build up and create chances.
When you pass the ball between the lines of the opponent, you can *remove* players of the play, and a 10v10+ GK transforms into something way more simple.
Here are some examples of what we are trying to say.
Not in any case this post must undermine the brilliant win of Sheffield Wednesday yesterday.
What is happening (or not happening) that is causing so many injuries?
Is it the off training behaviour of the players? Not enough rest, unwise choices in nutrition?
Or does it has something to do with training?
Most of this injuries are not caused by trauma, tackles or high impact contact. The reason has to be something related to what is happening in the training grounds.
Liverpool is in need, and you are the one they choose to lead.
What would you do? Keep in mind that we are not looking for a "Football Manager challenge", so the system of play is not that important, the same way that the starting eleven also does not make that much of a difference.
We are looking for game philosofy, what to do in Offensive Organization, Transition from attack to defence, Defensive Organization and Transition from defense to attack.
What would you do in the training grounds to acchieve those goals, what would be your priorities, what kind of players would take advantage and what would you tell the scouts to look for in the transfer market in January.
Eric Dier in his debut. Poor controle of the defensive line, should have been in sync and Dier would either be offside or if they have taken a two steps back (in a line) they would have resolved the problem. Late winner for the Spurs, using a player that was not even in the first eleven in his last club
and Ramsey, also in the last minute. Arsenal played his usual passing game, with good positional play but lacking speed circulating the ball. Its not about how much you run, its about moving the ball faster in order to create problems for the defensive organization of the oponent.
Manchester United changed from night to day, with much much less crossing than the year before, but still lacking consistensy. Mata wins new life in this kind of playing style and United fans can expect some exciting games. With 2/3 more weeks we will be able to see if their deffensive organization is better than the Nederlands in the World Cup. It has to be.. otherwise.. no trophys for the United fans.
