What, then, should Jurgen Klopp be doing, given there’s a distinct lack of defensive midfield cover in the team?
think it’s time for a formation change. And that means 4-2-3-1 with Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister the double pivot or two number sixes or two DMs or whatever we’re calling it today. Basically, they are going to be two deep-lying central midfielders.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, then, will be at right-back, with Andy Robertson on the left and Ibrahima Konate partnering Virgil van Dijk at centre-back. Alisson Becker is in goal.
The other midfielder can be Dominik Szoboszlai in a more advanced central role, while up top Mohamed Salah is on the right, with Cody Gakpo down the middle and, this time, Diogo Jota on the left.
Liverpool’s Premier League opener away at Chelsea is practically an afterthought, given all the transfer drama the pair have become embroiled in this week regarding pursuits of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
