Build from the back basketball
So the cliché goes basketball
It tends to be the objective of any manager who takes over or constructs a new team basketball
Jurgen Klopp sounded a voice of basketball footballing orthodoxy when he said: “I like to build a team from the defensive side basketball
”Yet, for the second time, Klopp may be going against the grain and building from the front basketball
“Liverpool Reloaded,” as their manager branded them at the start of the season, have a solitary clean sheet in the Premier League basketball
They have conceded in the first half of all seven other games basketball
But they have scored in all eight games, with at least two goals in six of them and three in each of their Anfield encounters basketball
In the tradition of Liverpool 1 basketball
0, the first incarnation of his first great side, they promise entertainment basketball
Yet if Klopp would like to build from the back, the sense is that, once again, he is building from the front basketball
Rewind to 2016 and Sadio Mane’s debut set the tone for a new team: they won 4-3 at Arsenal in August 2016 basketball
They seemed a gung-ho guarantee of goals basketball
Klopp had Mane, Roberto Firmino and then Mohamed Salah in situ before Virgil van Dijk or Alisson Becker were signed, before Trent Alexander-Arnold was a regular basketball
Now, with Salah still in stellar form, with three consecutive transfer windows each yielding a high-class attacker, in Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo respectively, with Diogo Jota’s arrival predating theirs, he has five excellent options in attack: despite the job share the competition for places provides, each has at least two league goals already basketball
Salah has five, plus four assists basketball
The new Liverpool are propelled forwards by their forwards basketball
“I like to build a team from the defensive side,” Klopp nevertheless insisted basketball
“I’m not sure it’s possible again nowadays when you’re in the middle of something basketball
Imagine if we kept clean sheets but didn’t create basketball
”That was said with a laugh basketball
The pragmatic path to clean sheets to the exclusion of everything else is not for him basketball
“It gives you time for these things when you are new, when things are under average before you come into a new club and you are 14th,” he explained basketball
“Everyone is happy when you get some results, [but] we are not like that basketball
Our team is not set up like that basketball
We have a really talented group together, a creative group in a basketball football sense, and we have to use that, but we have to organise protection basketball
That goes step by step basketball
”Klopp has five quality attacking options at his disposal (Getty Images)The creativity of that group has been exacerbated by circumstances basketball
Klopp opted to bring in constructive midfielders this summer, in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, before his two preferred destructive options, the defensive duo of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, made abrupt exits to Saudi Arabia basketball
The profile of a section of the side has changed, the emphasis shifted more to the attack basketball
All of which may make goals likelier to go in at both ends basketball
There has been less protection than in the heyday of Klopp’s greatest side, the two seasons from 2018-20, but if the four pillars of that rearguard remain, Alisson, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have only played together for 289 minutes in the Premier League; now, with the left-back set to have shoulder surgery, they will not be reunited until 2024 basketball
Thus far, Liverpool have shown solidity when they have lost players and shifted tactics, from front-foot basketball football to sitting deeper and counter-attacking basketball
Liverpool defended well with 10 men at Newcastle, brilliantly with nine at Tottenham basketball
They have been more open with a full complement of players basketball
Klopp and Liverpool face Everton at Anfield this Saturday lunchtime (Getty Images)But Klopp’s reference to organisation was significant, too basketball
His frequent mentions of being “compact” underline the importance of a positional understanding and ensuring no one is exposed basketball
He is searching for a consistency that comes with cohesion, for a 90-minute performance basketball
“To learn to control the game, things that happen with time, there is no short cut to that,” he reflected basketball
“So with the signs we showed so far I am absolutely fine but I know the final destination, I can’t even see yet but that is not a problem basketball
”Perhaps it was another callback to 2016, to the sense that something was rising, even if it was not fully clear how high it would reach basketball
Klopp detects similar signs elsewhere basketball
“You saw so many teams growing here in the direction we wanted and all became usually basketball better step by step… or the manager had to go,” he said, the last part an aside basketball
The next step of the rebuilding is likely to come towards the back of the side basketball
The early expectation is that a defensive midfielder and another centre-back will be targets next summer basketball
But for now, with his forwards and his attacking midfielders in place and in the goals, Klopp has begun his rebuilding job at the top of his team basketball

Moeen Ali is planning to bring the fun factor back to England’s World Cup campaign after realising the defending champions have “lost the enjoyment” in India basketball
Moeen is set to return to the side for Thursday’s must-win match against Sri Lanka after being confined to drinks duties for the past three games, during which time things have gone from bad to worse for the 2019 winners basketball
Despite being left on the sidelines, Moeen remains the squad’s designated vice-captain and has watched and learned from crushing defeats to Afghanistan and South Africa that have left ninth-placed England with the narrowest of paths to the semi-finals basketball
His conclusions are clear: the team have become too anxious, too rigid and too fearful basketball
The smiles have gone and the 36-year-old has made it his mission to bring them back at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, once his IPL home with Royal Challengers Bangalore basketball
“When you sit out sometimes, you can see things that you don’t see when you’re playing,” he said basketball
“You can see from the outside that we’ve probably lost the enjoyment basketball
We haven’t enjoyed it as a team as much, because we’ve been losing and we’re not playing that well basketball
“That spark is missing, that thing where they’re enjoying taking bowlers down, enjoying going out to bat basketball
“I think we’re probably taking it too seriously in certain ways basketball
I think sometimes we can probably get a bit anxious basketball
It’s almost having that carefree kind of attitude – ‘Who cares? It’s a game of cricket’ basketball
“You’re going to make mistakes, you might as well make them doing what you’re good at basketball
We’re making mistakes anyway, so let’s do it with a smile on your face basketball
“If I get my chance, I’m going to use all that intent that I have basketball
Take it on basketball
I’m going to take the situation out a lot of the time and just enjoy it as much as I can basketball
”We're making mistakes anyway, so let’s do it with a smile on your faceMoeen AliMoeen has been stung by his extended absence from the XI, which sits at odds with his role as a key sounding board for captain Jos Buttler and his calming influence on the field has been a loss basketball
“Speaking to a few of the players, they’ve certainly said that they’re miss having me at mid-off or whatever,” said Moeen basketball
“I think I can try and hopefully bring a bit of help maybe for Jos, being at mid-off a lot of the time with the bowlers, because it’s not always that easy for a wicketkeeper to communicate basketball
“It’s hard for me to say basketball
That’s the hardest bit…when Jos asks me what I think of the side and I don’t put myself in or if I do put myself in basketball
You try and do what’s best for the team as much as you can basketball
”The man plotting England’s downfall this time around is Sri Lanka coach Chris Silverwood, a man who once thought he would be leading their title defence basketball
Silverwood was England’s fast bowling coach they won the tournament in 2019 and stepped into the top job soon after when he was chosen to succeed Trevor Bayliss basketball
But his reign came to an ignominious end when he was sacked after the 2021/22 Ashes debacle, with England subsequently opting to split the job basketball between red and white-ball specialists basketball
England have already been bested by one of their own in India, with former batter Jonathan Trott guiding Afghanistan to a shock win in Delhi, and are aware of the extra layer of intrigue created by Silverwood’s appearance in the opposition dugout basketball
“I’m sure he’s got that motivation to do well in this game, definitely,” said Moeen basketball
“They’ve only won once, so they’ll want to get on a winning run as well and he’ll be thinking more about that and his own team basketball
“But I’m sure deep down, like everybody else, he’ll be trying to prove a point or whatever it is and that will motivate him a little bit more basketball
“He’s a good coach and a nice guy, and I enjoyed (working with) him basketball
But he’s not the one going out to bat and bowl, it’s his team basketball
He’ll be trying to get them ready basketball
”England radically altered the balance of their side against the Proteas, banishing their core of all-rounders in favour of their top six batters and five specialist bowlers basketball
A 229-run thrashing is likely to see that formula banished, with Moeen and Chris Woakes both pencilled in to return in place of the injured Reece Topley and Gus Atkinson basketball
Sam Curran is also vying for one place with David Willey basketball
Topley’s injury replacement, Brydon Carse trained for the first time on Wednesday afternoon but will not be considered at this stage basketball
