They've lost that determination to stop the other team.

They've become almost a possession-based team. Florian Wirtz is a brilliant, brilliant footballer but I think he's made them more into a possession team."I think under Klopp and probably under past managers as well at Liverpool, the last thing they're thinking about at home is playing football."They're just thinking about kicking the s--- out of you and steamrolling you and stopping you from playing.

They're still good, they still want to be a nice pretty football team - but you've got to stop the other team."He continued: "When we talk about philosophies of managers and football clubs - how many times did we speak about Ruben Amorim coming to United with his own philosophy playing the way he wanted? Man United had their own philosophy, I think it's almost a similar way for Liverpool."Liverpool isn't a possession team, they're just not - they're all over you like a Jurgen Klopp team.
