The last time Klopp played 4231 over a significant part of the season we scored more goals than we did in 433. Our defensive records were broadly equal. Goal difference and points per game were up.
Klopp has played 4231 at LFC and Dortmund, it's not an alien system for him. I'm not sure why you believe our players are incapable of playing the system.
Thiago has just won a CL title playing in a 4231 setup, maybe he can play in a 4231 at lfc too. Hes won a lot of titles at Bayern.
Similarly Klopp playing 4231 and Bayern have found a way to get their full backs to contribute. I find it odd how you question Thiagos ability to play in a system hes mostly played in for the last long while.
Did we sign him because he clearly couldn't play in a 4231 at Bayern ?
Given our injury issues and whose available I'd like to see us play 4231 as stated earlier. It would get jota into the starting 11. It would also afford us the opportunity to get more minutes for Mini, Shaq, Jones and even Origi.
2 6s, a 5 man midfield with a sole striker playing a bit more compact and defensively could benefit our longevity over the season.
If we can get back on track and find some form in 4231 it would not surprise me if Klopp went back to a 433 when we are ticking properly. Like he did beforehand.
