They have won the most coveted trophy in all of world football\u00a0\u2014 the UEFA Champions League. They have also earned the European Supercup and the Club World Cup championships. Finally, after missing out by a single point the year before, last season the Reds also ran away from the field early to earn their 19th English top-flight title, and first in the Premier League \u2014 although only after an agonizing additional wait imposed by a global pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nNow, after 24 months of maintaining the robotic, obsessive focus necessary to achieve such heights, the Reds must begin again. But this time, they have already achieved their goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nWe saw what happened after they clinched the title with seven matches remaining. The edge was gone. They had climbed the mountain, and their brains decided to stop giving the signal for the extra little adrenaline kick that had kept them at the top for so long. There was no conscious relaxation, and no reduction in intentional effort. But their subconscious let them down.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nNow, having achieved their goal, they must somehow recapture their edge. \u00a0They must trick themselves into believing that winning more trophies is equally important to winning the first ones. \u00a0Having had only a few weeks to celebrate, they must begin the war again. As J\u00fcrgen puts it, they must again\u00a0\u201cattack the title.”<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nThis is a huge psychological grind.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nAlong with the internal challenge of resetting their intensity, the Reds will also face new external challenges. For two seasons, they have rolled over their opponents using essentially one consistent tactical framework. But that enviable consistency inevitably brings with it a dreaded predictability. \u00a0Opponents know how LFC play, and they know the best ways to try and stop them. Actually managing to stop the Reds \u2014 even armed with a well-documented plan for doing so — remains hugely difficult. But the predictability of the Reds play makes it at least a bit easier.<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nYou and I recently discussed whether LFC were likely to implement new tactical systems or formations this season. I argued yes, in large part because I thought it would give the team ways to optimize tactics to fit different combinations of players on the pitch. You suggested that forcing all players to fit as cogs into the well-oiled 4-3-3 framework would\u00a0keep the output most consistent.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nNow, we have more data about which direction LFC will actually take on this issue. In the Community Shield, LFC started in a 4-3-3, then shifted to a 4-2-3-1 with 30 minutes left in the match. \u00a0The following week in an exhibition against Blackpool, the Reds played 4-2-3-1 (or some variant of it\u00a0\u2014 such as 4-2-1-3) for the entire match. \u00a0Perhaps even more significantly on this point, Klopp\u2019s first lieutenant\u00a0\u2014\u00a0assistant\u00a0Pep Ljinders — recently told the media that\u00a0\u201cit is up to us to remain unpredictable\u201d in order to meet challenges posed by opponents that have geared their play to stop LFC from playing how they want to play. \u00a0For example, LFC\u2019s opponents now often focus on stopping LFC\u2019s fullbacks. So, Ljinders says, the Reds must develop less predictable ways of attacking. \u00a0Given the use of different formations over the last few weeks, it strongly appears that using multiple formations will be part of the Reds\u2019 effort to\u00a0\u201cremain unpredictable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nBut learning and implementing new tactical systems, after having one system programmed\u00a0into your muscle memory for years, is a grind.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nOn a related point, LFC will also face the external\u00a0challenge of having the proverbial\u00a0\u201ctarget\u201d painted even larger on their backs. Arguably, at some level this has been true for a long time. For virtually every opponent, beating LFC has always been a big win, even when Liverpool have had\u00a0\u201cdown\u201d seasons. But now, having won the Premier League by 18 points, and having clinched the title at an earlier point than any team in history, the target will be painted bigger and brighter than ever. Perhaps most importantly, last season\u2019s drubbing could serve to re-sharpen the focus of LFC\u2019s chief rivals at Manchester City. \u00a0Pep Guardiola and his boys could well be galvanized to show Liverpool who\u2019s REALLY the boss of this league. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nFacing these external challenges week after week is a grind.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nThis time, the full season will be played out over only nine months, instead of the usual 10 months. \u00a0As they normally do, players will play in four club competitions for LFC, broken up by annoying \u201cbreaks\u201d to play for their national teams. The compressed schedule will mean that, more often than not, they will be playing twice a week. For nine months, the games will follow one after another, with relentless consistency. \u00a0Premier League on Saturday. League Cup on Wednesday. Premier League Sunday. Champions League Wednesday. Premier League Saturday. \u00a0Rinse and repeat.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This is both a physical and mental grind like none they have previously faced. No football squad has ever faced the levels of physical intensity that teams will face this season if they are competing in Europe, along with their domestic competitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nInevitably, as the compressed season grinds on, injuries will mount for every team. \u00a0Substitutes will fill roles that no one anticipated. Team chemistries will be disrupted. Coaches will forced to re-engineer tactical plans to adapt to changing circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nAll of this will\u00a0grind on the players, the coaching staff, and the supporters.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nCome May of 2021, how will LFC emerge from all of this grinding?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nWe know that repeated application of a grinder can render tools into a useless collection of shards and dust. But, wielded by an expert craftsman, a grinder can instead be used to sharpen a well-designed tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nThere\u2019s no doubt that LFC begin this season with the best\u00a0\u201ctool\u201d\u00a0\u2014 the squad that has played better than any team in the world over the last 24 months. They also start with one of the finest\u00a0\u201ccraftsman\u201d\u00a0\u2014 our hero J\u00fcrgen Klopp,\u00a0who\u2019s proven time and again that he can guide his team to overcome challenges that seem insurmountable.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nThis season will be a huge grind. Don\u2019t be surprised if we emerge at the end of it as an even sharper-honed tool than we already are.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nIt\u2019s difficult to know what\u00a0City and LFC\u2019s other league rivals will do this season. And it\u2019s beyond our control, for the most part. But, I\u00a0believe J\u00fcrgen and the boys will succeed. I think they will stumble more often, particularly in the first half of the season. But, as the grind wears on, I believe our quality will shine through relative to our competition. \u00a0I think we will again manage to earn more than 90 points. I think that\u2019s likely to be enough to reclaim the title, although it certainly might not be.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n_____<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nWhat are the biggest question marks going into the season? What holes remain to be filled? There aren\u2019t that many. This machine is not broken.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nWe filled one hole that has loomed for several seasons, when we purchased Kostas Tsimikas as a backup for Andy Robertson. As with any other transfer, only time will tell whether Tsimikas is a success in that role. But, his past performance, along with early signs from his preseason appearances, suggest that he will be a very good fit.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nBut with Dejan Lovren leaving, we are now down to only three senior center backs in the squad. \u00a0Fortunately, at the moment, all three of them are healthy. Nonetheless, over the course of this grind of a season, we will definitely need a fourth center back. At some points, we\u00a0could easily need a fifth. At the moment, our fourth center back option is Fabinho. This is fine in one important sense — he\u2019s plenty good enough at that position to serve in that role. But it may not be fine in another sense. When Fabinho’s playing CB, he’s NOT filling his best position — in defensive central midfield — where we probably need him most. I would hope and expect for us to pick up another CB before the close of the transfer window.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nOf course, the highest\u00a0profile personnel questions are the related pair of: a) will Gini leave for Barcelona? and b) will Thiago Alc\u00e1ntara replace him? I think it\u2019s likely that both of those will happen, although it still appears almost equally probable that either or both events might NOT occur. \u00a0I think LFC would probably ideally prefer that both of them stayed in place for this season, so that LFC could snatch up Thiago as a free agent at the end of the year (probably signing him to a pre-contract in January), and Gini could leave at the end of his contract. No transfer fees, no fuss, no muss. Of course, the players\u2019 agents would prefer that some type of transfer fee gets paid\u00a0\u2014 and that would be in the economic interests of the players as well. So, we\u2019ll see. If Klopp really wants Thiago, and Thiago and his agents\u00a0successfully convince LFC that he could end up going elsewhere unless LFC ponies up a transfer fee now, then that might push us in that direction. Similarly, if\u00a0Gini walks out on us now, we would need someone like Thiago a whole lot more\u00a0\u2014 it would be worth it at that point to spend the transfer fee. Plus, at that point we would have received a transfer fee for Wijnaldum. Again, this could go either way.<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nIf we get Thiago, I think this will help us be less predictable and have more of a cutting edge. But, the flip side is that it\u2019s likely to make us a bit more open defensively. Gini is positionally magnificent, and a key to our success. We will miss him, even if his replacement does a lot of things that\u00a0Gini did not.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nFortunately, we appear to be in very good shape in central midfield, so long as Gini doesn\u2019t leave without replacement.\u00a0Lallana is out, but I expect Curtis Jones to get all of his minutes, and I think he\u2019s an\u00a0upgrade over late-career Lallana. I won\u2019t say much here about my favorite player, since I jinxed him last season. Obviously, we won\u2019t know until the end of this season, at the earliest, whether Naby has overcome his injury tendencies. But I will say that\u00a0injuries are likely the only thing\u00a0that can hold him back from becoming the force that I\u2019ve always known he could be in a J\u00fcrgen Klopp team. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain faces a similar test. He\u2019s not yet gotten back to his pre-injury heights, and one can reasonably worry that he may never do so. But, he will play an important role even if he never gets back to that same lofty, pre-injury standard. Henderson and Fabinho are critical, core components. We suffer when either of them are unavailable, although Hendo was outstanding when replacing Fabinho as the defensive mid for several months last year. I think the team is far more dependent on Henderson that it seems like we SHOULD be. Hopefully he has another great season. Milner will continue to play an important role as a leader in the locker room, and he will still often be on the pitch as a substitute in tight situations with points on the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nFinally, I think we could use another attacker\u00a0\u2014 especially a left-sided attacker who could substitute for Sadio Man\u00e9\u2019s role. I expect Takumi Minamino to get a lot of minutes this season, but I think his best position is in the middle of the pitch\u00a0\u2014 in the Firmino role (in whatever formation we happen to be \u00a0playing). If we don\u2019t get another attacker, I\u00a0suspect that Taki will, at times, play in all three of the forward positions in the 4-3-3, and all of the attacking midfield positions in the 4-2-3-1. But, ideally, we would bring in a left-sided player with a similar skill set to Man\u00e9 \u00a0and Salah. A speedster who has the skill to finish and to create and interchange with others. Right now, the strongest link we have to such an attacker is to Watford\u2019s Ismaila Sarr. Watford was relegated, so he\u2019s on the market. Sarr is right-footed, and has more often played on the right wing throughout his career. But, he\u2019s also occasionally played left wing, and I\u2019m confident that\u2019s where he would usually find himself if he came to us. He\u2019s already good friends with his international teammate Sadio Man\u00e9. He\u2019s got the right skill sets, although they need further development.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nTactically, as we have discussed previously, I think we will see LFC more often\u00a0attacking through the middle of the pitch, rather than relying quite so heavily on delivery from the fullbacks out wide. Look for Robertson and TAA\u2019s assists totals to go down. Look for more through passes from the likes of Naby, Taki, Bobby, and AOC. \u00a0And, yes, occasionally from Henderson, Gini,\u00a0and Fabs as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nIt also appears that, when pressured high, we will be trying to expand the width of the pitch by dropping a central midfielder into a third CB spot, and playing with a 3-4-3 formation\u00a0until we can break the press. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\nDefensively, I suspect we will look mostly the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re just a scant few weeks from having watched LFC lift its first Premier League trophy in 30 years. \u00a0Ordinarily, the players would either be Instagramming their naked, muscled torsos from vacations from various points across the globe, or would be proudly representing their mother countries in various international competitions.\u00a0 \u00a0 This time, instead, another Premier League season begins. \u00a0 …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"WB4WB4WP_MODE":"","WB4WP_PAGE_SCRIPTS":"","WB4WP_PAGE_STYLES":"","WB4WP_PAGE_FONTS":"","WB4WP_PAGE_HEADER":"","WB4WP_PAGE_FOOTER":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[17,14,18],"class_list":["post-339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-season-previews","tag-lfc","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-football-club","entry entry-center"],"yoast_head":"\n
