High line. Deep line. I'm only concerned about the white lines

Last year we had slow defenders who didn't push up which resulted in big gaps between all the lines.
A good team plays with a distance of 20-25 metres between the defensive and attacking line to make it very compact.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You keep saying this, but we absolutely still played a high line even with a make shift defence. I agree that at times we may have dropped off a bit more than usual if VvD and Gomez had been back there but you go on like we were play deep. We weren't.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to watch the games which we lost. Slow defenders have the tendency to run away from the attackers and drop deep. Klopp always want quick defenders at the back to be comfortable in 1v1 if they are isolated.

I remember games like at home against Everton, Brighton, Burnley and Leicester, Madrid away when Phillips, Kabak and Fabinho were all over the place. I want defenders who are quick, have good positioning and tall. VVD, Matip and Konate are the right defenders.

Our style is about defending from the front and if they break that press you need defenders who can deal with the danger of through balls or balls over the top.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You've written a lot of words that mean very little in the context of the argument. You're saying things that a 3 year old knows. Of course Klopp wants quick defenders. Of course he wants us to play a high line for all the reasons that are obvious in terms of how we want the opposition to play/how we press etc etc.
That isn't the argument. The point is, that we played a high line even with Nat and Williams in the team. We didn't do it as consistently as we would have done with some pace at CB, but we absolutely played a high line. We tended to drop off when winning, as we do even with VvD and Gomez/whoever as it is a natural thing to do. Even with Henderson and Fab we played a higher line though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The materr of the fact is Phillips and Williams are are not good enough for Liverpool.

Does Hendo still start if we move to a 4-2-3-1?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple answer, yes. Would it be done? No as I can imagine Fabinho, Henderson and Thiago will remain as the midfield 3 for the foreseeable.

Although who would be in behind the CF and who would the CF forward be would be my question.

Still have flashbacks to Townsend being in on goal for Palace

Considering how slow Phillips and Williams are, the fact we got relatively unpunished by playing a high line is probably testament to how well they both did at the end of the season.

Phillips reads the game very well in particular. You don't have to have great pace to be a very good defender although it certainly helps.

I know we played that 4 up front as the occasional wildcard last season but still think Klopp prefers 4-3-3 and will look to keep it that way. Fab and Thiago in particular look much better playing as a three.

You'd imagine it would be Hendo next to Fabinho and Thiago in front, but I'm not convinced that makes sense.

rather thiago next to fabinho hendo ahead

It seems like the Arsenal fans are excited with the Henderson link…
Not that I want him sold but he’s been the butt of many jokes over the years. Amazed how he’s become one of the league’s best now he’s been linked away

That Hendo goal against them a few years ago was probably the funniest goal I've seen - like 5 defenders and he still scored

posted on 22/7/21

I don't see why Klopp would change to a 4-2-3-1 with the current players he's got anyway. I don't think putting a Firmino as a 10 would work as well and I don't see why he'd put Thiago as a 10 either.

The only way you'd do that is if one, Firmino, Henderson or Thiago left the club and you wanted to reshape the team.

Still missing a few big hitters in Gash, neo, and GT.

Only expecting one new comer in Robbing whom I’m expecting to challenge given his in-depth knowledge and analysis of the game. Don’t fail me lad

God help us all if he wins though
