Liverpool players are thriving in their positions
Jurgen Klopp has managed to get Liverpool’s players performing well in all areas of the pitch. When even Simon Mignolet was getting praise, it speaks volumes for the team’s success.
The underperforming players have either improved or been removed (bye Alberto Moreno). The Red’s now have a team of players all thriving in their positions. James Milner is thriving at left-back, while Adam Lallana dominates the midfield. Sadio Mane is running riot in attacking positions, and Jordan Henderson has stepped up in his deeper role.
Every Liverpool player is contributing effectively. Jurgen Klopp spoke to the press following the Hull match, and he said the following on players thriving in their positions.
“Always in football, we agree we all want to play a specific position. If I ask my offensive midfield players – of which we have got a lot – ‘What’s your favourite position?’ they all would say a ‘No.10’ and maybe Adam would say the same – so I didn’t ask! It’s all about playing the game and creating the spaces you need. Sometimes it’s different spaces. Against Hull it was a little bit between the lines because we knew how Hull would defend, so he did really well.”
“But the most spectacular situations apart from his goal were his counter-pressing. That was really impressive. We could speak about him, but look how Hendo played the ‘No.6’ where a lot of people, I think, were pretty sure he cannot play a holding position and he is. It was a team performance and a deserved win. I’m not surprised about one or the other performances.”

Given the way in which Klopp’s Liverpool have been performing, our opponents should be worried. Consistency is key, and if we keep performing we’ll do well.
