#4 Underestimating the strikers
Trending
The system Liverpool are playing in this season has no room for an out and out striker. The 4-3-3 formation with Roberto Firmino operating as the focal point of the attack worked wonders for the Reds until December but in the process, the two strikers Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi, have hardly played a part.
Klopp wants all his players to contribute in every department which has affected the natural game of both the number nines when they are on the pitch.
Many would say that Liverpool’s defence is responsible for their poor run of form, lately, but the blame should be laid on the strikers, too. The Reds’ defence has always been poor, and the tactic of outscoring the opponents is not possible for the whole of the season. It is still not too late for Klopp to start using Sturridge up front, in a system where he is comfortable – like a 4-2-3-1 formation – with the likes of Mane, Coutinho and Firmino behind him.
