[Steveo]

We have won every major honour playing that way..

So did Mourinho at Inter - in fact he won a treble..!

Correct he did but he won it in a one team league.

Juve were relegated.

We have won it in a harder league and lets be right we arent as boring as Mourinho.

We with our 3 first choice CBs being out are being forced to adapt and if thats what it takes I am ok with it.

This isnt a normal season its worth remembering that

Alonso didn't create?

Plenty of players that assist/score more but tbh it doesn't matter who does but it's a bit shit that we can't seem to be able to come up with a goal from that area when needed

Well stats wise like Modric he doesnt but we both know they were world class.

Take a look at the league there isnt many who score/create KDB the obvious example.

Seriously - the midfield can be far more dynamic. Klopp a defender and not a great one - great motivator and tactician - isn’t a master in this area. Builds the midfield as an engine room - a facilitator... It has worked to a point BUT it can be much more and far better.

This is what needs to happen next or we get eclipsed.

You dont have to be a great player to be a great manager.

I think he does what to be more attacking Ox/Keita injuries have not helped.

I agree Steveo we do need to add more in midfield and Thiago is that man as long as he dont get nailed again.

[Steveo]

I know this but that is my point Klopp has a blind spot for the midfield. Been saying it for years.

I tell you this for nothing - we have a Luka Modric and we very likely have 20 titles and 7 European Cups.

That’s what I am talking about.

2019 - miracle to escape the group and a miracle v Barca. Penalty first few mins v Spurs. We won - it’s great but be real - we have Istanbul’d a fair bit.

Not that I am complaining - but I want more - we all want more. Klopp wants more and needs a little help IMO to see it

[Kev0909]

I just hope Salah stays fit otherwise we are in trouble for goals, I know he's not been at his best lately but that's why we've been failing to score and mane

It's all good when they're on form but when not the midfield starts to look rather.. flat to say the least

[Balinkay]

I've not followed the thread but if Mourinho's treble winning team is being brought up as an example of boring but successful football, I'm not sure I agree.

[Kev0909]

Games like this one going forward

Ox Hendon thiago imo

Ox is the most direct and actually scores, thiago obviously the creative player

Hopefully he can get 100% fit and stay fit but I know that's probably asking for a miracle
