Liverpool thread 2018/19

The squad options they have means they can sustain their gegenpress over the course of a full season.

Its very hard to press teams that dont have the ball. 80% of the games they play teams will sit back in a 541 and hope to hit them on the counter. This is where is struggle and cant break teams down.

They also still only get 3 substitutes, and they've shown that they struggle if they fail to score in the 30 minutes that they can keep it up for. I'd guess the point of the new signings is to get away from this one tactic style of play though.

Klopp's press game is primarily designed to retain possession and break teams down, much like Pep.

Liverpool took 12 points more from teams that parked the bus, last season. Media is lazy and loves to repeat things until it becomes the public truth.

Lost to Swansea, drew at home to Stoke and failed to beat West Brom in 3 attempts (2 draws in the PL plus knocked out of the FA Cup at home). That's 9 points dropped to the relegated teams. No point winning the 'We Beat City Cup' if they're going to do that.

How did you work those 12 points out?

No it isn't Gegenpressing involves winning the ball back as soon as you lose it and preferably as high up the pitch as possible. It's ineffective when the opposition are happy to let you have the ball and sit back. A lot of the games they dropped points in were against teams who let them have the majority of possession.
