Can Klopp’s Back Three Survive Without Wingbacks?

Harry Maguire is a player that Manchester United happily paid a world record fee for (in 2018), in order to secure his move from Leicester City, some four years ago. They thought they were buying the English version of Virgil van Dijk, as someone who would help lead them back to the glory days...

How This New System Could Thrive Under Klopp’s Reinvention

Only managers that have risen to the level of world class have ever really imprinted their ideals on what we continue to view in modern football today. In terms of Arrigo Sacchi, it was he who really took this style of counter pressing to a truly elite level, through the Serie A of the...
