Hi ed.

I see that you mention that the high press has gone. Do you know the reasoning behind this? And do you believe that Klopp will go back to that style when the defence is solid and his own players? Cos I would love it to be back, absoloutly amazing to watch but with the right players ofcourse (defence)

{Ed001's Note - it was dropped because it was not working. It is now just an occasional press in games at certain moments. Opponents had figured ways round it, it only really works with teams that play short passing football like Pep's teams, who always struggle with a press. I doubt it will come back in the long term as the game evolves and what worked a year ago does not work in 5 year's time.}

I understand and appreciate your answer ed.

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate. It is a shame as it is exciting, but teams are more direct, in the main, now, so the press has little effect on them.}

I think once Lallana settles back into the team, we will see a bit more, but like the Ed says, its only best against some teams, or in certain moments in a game .
