Jurgen Klopp told to adapt his game in a variety of styles.
The Reds are having a dreadful run of form in the Premier League recently but have bounced back with an impressive 2-0 win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
Liverpool can’t even guarantee a top-four finish this season in their first-ever title defence season in 30 years.
Danny Higginbotham believes Klopp needs to learn from the likes of Chelsea, Leicester City and Manchester City and get his team to play in a variety of styles.
“I think when you look at Liverpool, last season was unbelievable – the way that everything went for them. They didn’t win the league by a fluke; they were by far the best team,” said Higginbotham exclusively to Ladbrokes.
“The problem Liverpool have – and I’m putting Jurgen Klopp up there as one of the best managers in the world – is that I just feel like they only have one way of playing.
“When you look at even Leicester City and the way they play, there’s a number of systems they can play. When you look at Manchester City, the amount of systems they can switch to at the drop of a hat is unbelievable. Chelsea are now beginning to show glimpses of that kind of adaptability under Thomas Tuchel. But I look at Liverpool and they only have one way of playing.
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s brought them an unbelievable level of success. They’ve been unstoppable over the past few years at times and while I’m not saying that teams have found them out, what I will say is that teams are now starting to make it more difficult for Liverpool to do what they’ve been so used to doing.
“The top, top teams respond to that; they adapt and make it even harder to play against them. And that’s something Jurgen Klopp is going to have to do, which makes for a fascinating summer ahead in the transfer window.”
