Remember Chelsea’s shambolic run of form before their amazing run started earlier this season? After back to back losses against Liverpool and Arsenal, Conte switched to 3-4-3 to help his side bounce back and they did it in some style!
Liverpool have always been poor defensively but now they are lacking that attacking threat which was their strength earlier in the season. Klopp can certainly take Chelsea’s example and switch to 3-4-3 and play in a counter-attacking manner.

In this system, the preferred back three would be Can, Matip and Lovren. The two wing-backs should be Clyne and Milner and the two central midfielders should be Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Daniel Sturridge or Divock Origi has to spearhead the attack in this system to provide a genuine goal scoring option. Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane should play on the flanks. In this system, both Firmino and Lallana would have to be dropped to the bench, though.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
