I have an idea for Ed1 and fellow reds to debate to help us win trophies this season.

Klopp can set us up defensively and be flexible as he showed for the last few games of last season with a more pragmatic approach which led to us getting champions league football (and a few 1-0 wins) .

IMO he needs to adapt our style again for a few games so we start winning again, get a few clean sheets and build momentum.

Conte did it last season and won the title because if it.

However, I think we should go 4-2-3-1. This will give our back five more protection. The key to success with this formation (see Chelsea winning title under mourinho ) is having a fast wide 2 which we have with Mane and salah. Plus the skill of Coutinho and Bobby.

We would be stronger at the back and still strong up front but with a far better balance.

Will klopp do it? Unlikely. Could it make a huge difference to us winning trophies this season? It could certainly help!

{Ed001's Note - isn't that pretty much the plan anyway? It is just that the 2 will not be as defensive as you are intending.}

And that's the key isn't it Ed1 - making the 2 more dedicated to protecting the back five.

{Ed001's Note - or we could go old school and use proper fullbacks to defend.}

I think the current plan is 2-8.

2 central defenders and 8 chasing around after the ball.

we can still make it a bit defensive by having Matip as a DM along side Hendo or can and coutino as a AM.

I like bobby but he is no striker you would need a class striker in front of salah mane on the wings and bobby or coutinho in the middle and if we insist on wing backs a strong defensive midfielder to bridge the gap in defence.

Careful Berg, you can't say such things as that about Firmino (I refuse to call him his nickname lol) .
He's the best Striker we've had since the club was formed :)
