The German coach will look for a different strategy with the Reds' attack

In a sluggish start to the Premier League, manager Jurgen Klopp is looking to make up ground with changes to the attacking module. He tried it in the UEFA Champions League with Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah playing behind the lone striker Darwin Núñez. This Sunday they visit Arsenal.

Two wins in seven games. Not much for one of the most powerful teams in England. There are cracks in defence, but also changes in the attack that scores goals and performs better in the continental tournament. The DT is trying with four attackers spread over 30 metres. The Colombian and Salah on the flanks; Diogo Jota as a midfielder and Darwin Núñez as a back nine.

"For us, it's much more important that we become unpredictable again. We need different systems for that as well. We don't want to make it more complicated than it is, but obviously there are different systems for us available and we have to choose from now on what is best for the next opponent, or what is best for us at the moment. We have to be more unpredictable, definitely," he explained.

With those indications, Diaz performs as an inside-left with the same intensity as when he does it near the line. "That's the characteristic of this team, the intensity, the high pressure, being intense on every ball," the striker explained to ESPN after the win over Rangers in which he generated the penalty for the 2-0 win. Ninth in the domestic league with 10 points, Liverpool visit leaders Arsenal on Sunday 9 October.

"It's a young team, a very exciting team and they are doing very well. The position they are in is well deserved," said the German coach.Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp spoke at a press conference on Monday about the situation of Darwin Núñez, who has not had a dream start to his Premier League season. The German coach said the Uruguayan is "still adapting", as is to be expected. "When new players come in, everyone talks about them and wants them to shine straight away. That only happens every now and then and sometimes it doesn't," he said.
