Although Jürgen Klopp has an endless number of players in midfield, injuries and bad footballing moments have complicated the objectives that the German coach had already set for the start of the Premier League season, causing this large number of casualties a serious problem that seems to have found a solution in his midweek match against Rangers, where the German's midfield and strategies were vital to take the three points.
The Reds' poor midfield performance often resulted in the Reds being behind on the scoreboard, causing Klopp and his players a lot of problems as they struggled to salvage a point that would not put them too far behind in the table. After the draw against Brighton and the win over Rangers, the German manager seems to have found a partial solution to the problem in that area from which they have suffered so much.

Klopp dreams of signing him for Liverpool, but this player is already priceless
The novelty came on Tuesday when they received at home the visit of Rangers in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, because the fact of going ahead in the scoreboard so early, generated a gap for Jürgen Klopp to play well his pieces having at times the total control of the match, putting into practice the new formation that he presented to improve in that midfield and in attack with that (4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1).
The example of how Liverpool benefited from the new strategies was in the attack led by Mohamed Salah Jota, Diogo, Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez, generating pressure and constant dangerous plays that prevented the opposition from reacting on many occasions, greatly reducing the danger that both the midfield and the defence were able to resolve excellently.
On this occasion their offence was part of their best defence, but when it came to being creative and going forward in search of a goal, it was the midfield that shone with the great performances of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcántara. Now Klopp will have to fine-tune and fine-tune the formation that paid dividends in the Champions League to use it against Arsenal this weekend, with this opponent offering more complications that will determine whether what was achieved a few days ago was an improvement or just a mirage for the Reds.
