LAST October, when Liverpool’s unimpressive start to the season was expected to right itself at any moment, Jurgen Klopp made a change which he hoped would make a difference.

“We played for quite a time a specific system in a specific way and when you get used to things you lose a little bit of the desire for the detail,” he explained as Liverpool switched to a 4-4-2 formation for a Champions League game against Rangers. When they beat Rangers with the new formation, Klopp declared it was the “game we wanted to play.”
