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.
