LIVERPOOL NEED TO

BEWARE THE PACE OF

REDMOND IN BEHIND

We played a high line

at Arsenal under my

old manager George

Graham. It pushes

your opponents back,

limiting the space

they have to work

with. That means they

have less time on the

ball and you can win it

back higher up the

pitch.

Liverpool do the same

under Jurgen Klopp.

Against Norwich last

Friday, the average

positions of their

players show centre

backs Virgil van Dijk

and Joe Gomez close

to the halfway line.

Full backs Trent

Alexander-Arnold and

Andrew Robertson

were in the opposition

half. That is how high

they play. That is the

Klopp way.

The trouble is it can

leave you vulnerable

at the back — Norwich

created lots of

chances and Teemu

Pukki scored — with

space for opponents

to run into. That will

be the job of Nathan

Redmond today.

Southampton boss

Ralph Hasenhuttl will

want him to make runs

from deep and wide

left and for his

playmaker, for

example James Ward-

Prowse or whoever

wins the ball, to play

the ball into the space

behind the back four.

Liverpool need to be

aware of that.

This is where keeper

Adrian — or Andy

Lonergan — will be

needed too. Whoever

starts will have to stay

alert and play high like

his defenders, in case

he needs to come

rushing out to clear

danger. And Lonergan

is 35 by the way.

Beating Southampton

won’t be easy. In the

summer, I was lucky to

go to Austria to watch

a Saints training

session. Hasenhuttl is

a man with a plan. He

knows the Klopp

philosophy well

because they are

similar. He told me:

‘The best playmaker is

the ball-winner.

Statistically, the

chance of creating a

goal is higher within 10

seconds of winning

the ball.’

Liverpool will not have

got back from their

Super Cup trip until

Thursday afternoon.

Then, 48 hours later,

they will play a Saints

side who will be

licking their wounds

after a 3-0 loss to

Burnley. The squad will

be tired, but they have

to go to St Mary’s to

win.

Only winning will do.

Manchester City will

happily exploit any

slip-ups.
