Klopp calls for stuttering Liverpool to be ‘unpredictable again’

• Liverpool faces leaders Arsenal in marquee match-up on Sunday

LIVERPOOL, AFP: Jurgen Klopp said Friday that Liverpool must rediscover their unpredictability after a disappointing start to the season and expressed his belief that misfiring striker Darwin Nunez has a bright future at the club.

The 2020 Premier League champions have won just two of their opening seven games in the English top flight and are already 11 points behind leaders Arsenal, their opponents on Sunday.

Liverpool manager Klopp deviated from his established 4-3-3 system to play 4-2-3-1, or 4-4-2, in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League victory over Scottish side Rangers.

He was asked at his pre-match press conference on Friday whether that was the blueprint for the future.

“For us, it is much more important that we become unpredictable again and we need different systems for that,” he said.

But Klopp, whose side face in-form Arsenal at the Emirates, said he showed some positive signs in the midweek win against Rangers.
