Yet those who claim that this proves Klopp can’t organise a defence have to explain how it is that such a poorly-organised team does such a good job of restricting their opponents’ opportunities to shoot at goal. Liverpool have allowed their opponents fewer shots than any other team except Manchester City.

That’s because Klopp, like Pep Guardiola, is one of those system managers who believes that the best way to defend is to play the game in the other team’s half, far away from your goal. And their systems appear to work, because City and Liverpool are also the two teams who have had most shots on their opponents’ goals.
