Jurgen Klopp has admitted Liverpool are still coming to terms with their recent formation change which has seen Trent Alexander-Arnold utilised as an inverted full-back.
Such a switch sees the England international push into midfield alongside Fabinho, with the Reds’ other two midfielders, in recent games Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones, playing further forward. Meanwhile, such a set-up has also prompted a tweaked role for Andy Robertson with the Scotland captain having to be more selective regarding when he attacks forward down the wing.
Both full-backs will claim assists from set-pieces in Liverpool’s 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday. And speaking after the game, Klopp praised Robertson’s understanding of the new system as he admitted it has made his role in the team more difficult.
