Toothless Liverpool Exit Champions League After Real Madrid Stalemate

Klopp's Tactical Masterclass vs Spurs: Dual False-Nines
Inside of two minutes against Spurs, you could tell something was different. In previous matches this year, Jurgen Klopp had used Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xherdan Shaqiri as attacking No.8s, with Thiago and Gini Wijnaldum anchoring the midfield.
In those games, the dynamic felt a little off and people kept getting in each other’s way. Thiago was carrying the ball forward and with there already being a more attacking eight in the system, it forced Roberto Firmino higher up the pitch. …
