Okay hold on tho. This has been a think since Klopp got to this league.
My view is that the club saw this narrative and wanted no part of it. Yes we had 17/18 with the fastest front 3 but after that we always valued the fact that nobody had the bags of technical quality we had, it wasn’t just our midfield. It was from Ederson, to centre backs kike Laporte, even our role players like Zinchenko were technically gifted. It transferred to our wingers like Mahrez Bernardo. Our academy kids were churning out replicas like Foden Palmer McAtee Bobb.
Yes PnP is importsnt but I think people overstate it’s importance especially when things aren’t going right or they refuse to take a deeper dive in the context surrounding the tactical make up of the squad.
I think it’s all about balance. Something PSG have. They have insane fullbacks that have so much pace but their midfield technical ceiling is through the roof. With a fluid front 3 it just works for them. We just have to tweak some things and find the thing that works for US.
