Build from the back football
So the cliché goes football
It tends to be the objective of any manager who takes over or constructs a new team football
Jurgen Klopp sounded a voice of football footballing orthodoxy when he said: “I like to build a team from the defensive side football
”Yet, for the second time, Klopp may be going against the grain and building from the front football
“Liverpool Reloaded,” as their manager branded them at the start of the season, have a solitary clean sheet in the Premier League football
They have conceded in the first half of all seven other games football
But they have scored in all eight games, with at least two goals in six of them and three in each of their Anfield encounters football
In the tradition of Liverpool 1 football
0, the first incarnation of his first great side, they promise entertainment football
Yet if Klopp would like to build from the back, the sense is that, once again, he is building from the front football
Rewind to 2016 and Sadio Mane’s debut set the tone for a new team: they won 4-3 at Arsenal in August 2016 football
They seemed a gung-ho guarantee of goals football
Klopp had Mane, Roberto Firmino and then Mohamed Salah in situ before Virgil van Dijk or Alisson Becker were signed, before Trent Alexander-Arnold was a regular football
Now, with Salah still in stellar form, with three consecutive transfer windows each yielding a high-class attacker, in Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo respectively, with Diogo Jota’s arrival predating theirs, he has five excellent options in attack: despite the job share the competition for places provides, each has at least two league goals already football
Salah has five, plus four assists football
The new Liverpool are propelled forwards by their forwards football
“I like to build a team from the defensive side,” Klopp nevertheless insisted football
“I’m not sure it’s possible again nowadays when you’re in the middle of something football
Imagine if we kept clean sheets but didn’t create football
”That was said with a laugh football
The pragmatic path to clean sheets to the exclusion of everything else is not for him football
“It gives you time for these things when you are new, when things are under average before you come into a new club and you are 14th,” he explained football
“Everyone is happy when you get some results, [but] we are not like that football
Our team is not set up like that football
We have a really talented group together, a creative group in a football football sense, and we have to use that, but we have to organise protection football
That goes step by step football
”Klopp has five quality attacking options at his disposal (Getty Images)The creativity of that group has been exacerbated by circumstances football
Klopp opted to bring in constructive midfielders this summer, in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, before his two preferred destructive options, the defensive duo of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, made abrupt exits to Saudi Arabia football
The profile of a section of the side has changed, the emphasis shifted more to the attack football
All of which may make goals likelier to go in at both ends football
There has been less protection than in the heyday of Klopp’s greatest side, the two seasons from 2018-20, but if the four pillars of that rearguard remain, Alisson, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have only played together for 289 minutes in the Premier League; now, with the left-back set to have shoulder surgery, they will not be reunited until 2024 football
Thus far, Liverpool have shown solidity when they have lost players and shifted tactics, from front-foot football football to sitting deeper and counter-attacking football
Liverpool defended well with 10 men at Newcastle, brilliantly with nine at Tottenham football
They have been more open with a full complement of players football
Klopp and Liverpool face Everton at Anfield this Saturday lunchtime (Getty Images)But Klopp’s reference to organisation was significant, too football
His frequent mentions of being “compact” underline the importance of a positional understanding and ensuring no one is exposed football
He is searching for a consistency that comes with cohesion, for a 90-minute performance football
“To learn to control the game, things that happen with time, there is no short cut to that,” he reflected football
“So with the signs we showed so far I am absolutely fine but I know the final destination, I can’t even see yet but that is not a problem football
”Perhaps it was another callback to 2016, to the sense that something was rising, even if it was not fully clear how high it would reach football
Klopp detects similar signs elsewhere football
“You saw so many teams growing here in the direction we wanted and all became usually football better step by step… or the manager had to go,” he said, the last part an aside football
The next step of the rebuilding is likely to come towards the back of the side football
The early expectation is that a defensive midfielder and another centre-back will be targets next summer football
But for now, with his forwards and his attacking midfielders in place and in the goals, Klopp has begun his rebuilding job at the top of his team football
