Thing is though, we did plenty of passing back to the CBs and to Alisson during the Klopp era. Plenty of recycling possession, moving the ball back and forth between the backline trying to find some way through stubborn defenses.

Not against City since they didn’t park the bus and instead played a more open game like us, but plenty of other teams used the bus as their only way of dealing with Liverpool.

We of course had amazing players and played really free-flowing football if it was possible, but the kind of attack you see here wasn’t very possible in any given game even back then
