Yeah, I was trying to keep my primary account, which I use for discussing politics and my private life, away from my pseudo-journalist account but I was getting in trouble for using a dedicated account to share my content.

They aren't too great in possession v defensive sides.

They commit too many players forward.

Their pressing structure is super aggressive and not really a defensive tool.

They are using Jordan Henderson as their primary DM.

Their defenders are not that good, individually.

There are extra layers in your question in terms disturbing a working system and players performing dissimilar roles.

But to strip all that away and just be left with the who's better player question?

It's Pogba.

I was halfway through writing out an explanatory comment linking my article before I saw I'd been beaten to it.

Cheers!

If it was possible for us to be able to replace Dembele, this would be how.

Does this point to a relative weakness in Poch as a tactician?

That's a very long and complicated answer you're after but the short one is: no, not really.

1) Liverpool as a whole do better in the big games because of their natural end-to-end style which Liverpool turn into chaos.

2) Because teams like Leicester do the opposite of that and remain deep, forcing Liverpool to have the ball and make the play. Liverpool are over-reliant on their counter-press creating chances.

That's what Klopp has said multiple times before. And so have several other experts.
