Nah, with the personnel on the pitch you could easily play a more compact shape than this. Arsenal haven't even seen the benefit of pushing high and pressing, from the first minute Leno and Lichtsteiner were misplacing passes across the back line while I can't remember more than a couple of instances where you've won the ball high up the pitch.

Could even say that with an ageing Sokratis and Lichsteiner, a not particularly pacey Mustafa, that playing deep and compact is the natural system for these players. 

Xhaka also showed his career best form playing a compact 4-4-2 with Gladbach. Aubameyang plays best with space in behind.

Not fickle, in reality other clubs would not accept this, why should we?  That is why Wenger went and this is no better. 

Ridiculous.

Yeah good agaisnt average teams, its frustrating to see how easy Arsenal are making it.

It takes time, remember our first season with Klopp? We didn’t look as good as we did last season or especially this season.

Always surprises me to still see opposition midfielders getting caught off guard in possession and losing the ball to Liverpool. For the opposition, extra attention surely must be paid to moving the ball when playing them. It’s difficult and credit to Klopp, the speed at which Liverpool press and the manner in which they do it, makes it very unpredictable and effective, players coming from all sorts of blind spots. However, it still shocks me to see players against Liverpool lumbering on the ball in the centre of the pitch, only to suddenly get caught out. What did you expect and prepare for?
