Jurgen Klopp has explained why Liverpool changed formation against Rangers on Tuesday night as they stepped away from their traditional 4-3-3 formation.
With their defensive displays particularly below par this season, the German switched to a 4-2-3-1 set-up as Fabinho was dropped to the bench with Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez joining Mohamed Salah in an attacking four.
Speaking after the final whistle, Klopp revealed his new-look attack had only one session together to work on the new system. And admitted that the change was in response to his side’s struggles so far this season rather than in response to how Rangers would set up at Anfield.
