    The 433 is easy to open up and counter attack. Especially without a false 9 who has the right instincts. Obviously the squad is missing pieces yadda yadda… But why not change the tactics to better suit the players? The players must be smart enough at this level to handle a change.

      Although we don’t attack in that shape anymore, we attack with the box.

      The issue is always how can you transition back from your attacking possession when you lose it if everyone is up front

      The pressure on Konate is the core problem.

      When we had Fab he would drop quickly to make three not two at the back if needed during a transition phase.

      If Konate is out, noone else has recovery pace.

      But in the end Klopp has a belief, that if the team is performing at the front, the counter chances are lower than the xg created.
