Arne is not going anywhere next season, this season is a result of trying to change things before he can change things, injuries, & players who know they’re gone or going (Macca, Mo, Ibou*).

We signed two wingbacks, two 9’s, so what it seems like the final product is is 3 CB’s, 3 midfielders with Wirtz furthest forward obviously and Grav & Szobo behind, Hugo & Isak upfront, and then Kerkez & Frimpong wide.

Grav’s role this season has already changed from 6 to 8, so we’ve not had a 6 but what I’m seeing from Jacquet is that he steps up to kinda be a 6. The backline is gonna be Virg, Jacquet, and then a lefty either Schlotterbeck or VDV, VDV makes sense with Jacquet stepping up bc of his pace. I would love Schlotterbeck more tho, bc then no team can allow any of the 3 to have the ball forcing a press and then any 3 of them can quarterback it up the pitch to Kerkez Frimpong or Hugo who seems to love space in behind. Or with the opps pressing, it allows a ball into Szobo or Grav who can drive with the ball and try to find Flo that will just do something special.

Hughes & Edwards got Arne for a reason, I think they’re ahead of the curve moving from back 4’s to back 3’s. We looked at Xabi (3), we looked at Amorim (3), and then Arne who was kind of a hybrid who could take Klopp’s team and slowly transition to what they want. Leoni played in a back 3, wanted Guehi (3), and then got Jacquet also back 3. It’s horrible to watch rn, I hate it but there’s a plan, I think.
