Liverpool typically plays up or plays down to their competition. They need a killer instinct against the bottom table clubs.


It's style of play more than talent.

The smaller clubs tend to pack it in to try and frustrate Klopp's open style. But Mourinho will do it to. Because he doesn't give a damn how people think his team looks. That matchup should be quite a chess match between the two.

But you can kind of see what Klopp may try to do this year (at least against Hoffenheim). It looks like he's going to try and concede possession in spaces in the midfield to force teams to stretch out more. He's also allowing defenders to push forward (sometimes even on the attack) dropping his midfielders. Again, the goal to not only attack, but to cause the opposition to respond by attacking as well. I don't know if it will work. But damn, it will make the games entertaining to watch.
