Manchester city is team is on a different level, when they attack they are formidable and the midfield pairing and partnership is one of the best, its as if the players have played together their whole career because of the way they connect and understand each other, look at Haaland and Kelvin D, those two have been outstanding and putting the team at advantage in every game. Liverpool seems to have lost their touch and fighting spirit this season. I wonder if they could find their rhythm again this season.
Liverpool have fallen far behind Manchester City, they are not the same team they were last season. I don't know what makes it so difficult for them to improve their performance because if we look at their squad it is not so different from the previous season, there are only the addition of a few names to the squad. Maybe this happened because their playing style could be read by the opposing team, so they became monotonous. I consider that they are not very creative in working with round circles so they are easily broken by opposing players.
It's still a mystery until now why Liverpool's performance suddenly dropped so much compared to the previous season. Whereas as you said,
the Liverpool squad has not changed much compared to the previous season. Is the impact of losing Sadio Mane very big for Liverpool, but the fact is
that since Mane left, Liverpool's performance has continued to decline. I actually still can't believe losing Mane will have a big impact, a team like
Liverpool shouldn't depend on just one player.
I believe more in your opinion, that Liverpool's playing strategy is well known by the opposing team, so the opposing team can read Liverpool's
game, so the attacks that Liverpool build are easy to read. What you say makes sense, Klopp should have changed Liverpool's playing strategy.
For 7 years Liverpool was quite successful with a 4-3-3 formation, but it looks like this season the 4-3-3 formation is easy for opposing players
to read, meaning it's time for Klopp to replace Liverpool's playing strategy with a new one, if Klopp want Liverpool to get back to their best.
