There have been indications that Jurgen Klopp is seeking to evolve his attack on Liverpool. While arguably the toughest front line in Europe, Timo Werner’s quest for much of last season advised the German coach to be in a position to open his brain to new concepts about how the Reds can shape in the last third.
Jota could hardly have had a better start in life at Merseyside, scoring six goals in his first five games for Liverpool, adding a hat trick in the Champions League’s 5-0 win over Atalanta. Anfield came from the team Klopp chose for the away match against Manchester City before the foreign break.
While Jota’s form has led many to wonder if Klopp would favor the 23-year-old over Roberto Firmino, Liverpool’s manager has looked at how he could play in the same attack as the Brazilian. The Reds played a small 4-2-3-1 at etihad Stadium.
Klopp is right to replace Liverpool’s attack. The teams that stop are just to be caught. Pep Guardiola may be accused of doing so, his Manchester City team staned for about a year. This has been evident in the disappointing actions they have achieved. since winning the 2018/19 Premier League title.
Thiago Alcántara’s summer signing gave Liverpool another way to play in the middle of the field, the Spain foreigner struggled to be compatible and consistent at the start of the season. While Klopp tends to favor a combative technique in the middle of the field, Thiago allows Liverpool to control the games by using the ball.
Jota’s physical condition was not without obvious delay for the maximum, however, it was transparent to Liverpool recruiting staff who sanctioned his Wolves’ 41 million pound signing. , however, Klopp wanted to make the most of the players.
“Good performances never give me a headache,” Klopp said when asked if Jota’s recent performances could force him to reposition Firmino with the rookie. player who has played for us, it’s like 500 games in a row.
“We wouldn’t even be in the Champions League if Firmino wasn’t with us. However, right away, I have to understand why he’s not on the team. He’ll be on the team and for a lot of other people around the world, if you ask them, ‘What makes Liverpool on certain days special?I would say the way Bobby Firmino plays, because on a smart day it’s not [possible] to protect yourself [against].
Firmino remains a kind of exclusive center forward. It gives anything very few players can. The Brazilian contribution cannot be quantified only through objectives and assistance. As Klopp asks, the question is not how Jota can simply upgrade Firmino, but how the two can play in combination to make Liverpool even stronger.
