Style of play has been an even greater issue that formation we need that 3 up when attacking abd to attack quickly as we’ve always looked well short of forwards in the box and in the 4231 tappy crappy and struggled to create as a result

I was spot on about that style of play never working in a million years, it failed played much better under Guardiola in 19-20 and was ditched thereafter

Now there are more teams even better in the press and counter press and at countering and being direct it’s a categoric non starter

Rather than evolving and progressing, we seem to be reverting back to being a team that lacks intensity, dynamism, creativity, is one paced, lacks a coherent and effective way of playing, lacks fight, and one that plays slow, onepaced sideways and backwards passing football. We also seem to be reverting back to a time when we were overly reliant on one of our star players coming up with the goods to get us out of jail.

We have been successful playing quick pass and move, intense, dynamic football, whilst also having a lot of fight and spirit in the team. Are we going to get Klopp back or find someone with the same skillset and motivational acumen that gave us those things? Unlikely. But is it too much to expect or ask for someone who can can inject a few of our previously positive attributes back into the team? I don't think it is.
