A look at how Liverpool could tweak tactically next season following the arrival of Darwin Nunez

The
Reds
have
added
two
fantastic
youngsters
in
the
form
of
Fabio
Carvalho
and
Calvin
Ramsay.
Jurgen
Klopp’s
side
will
lock
horns
with
Pep
Guardiola’s
Manchester
City
on
Sunday
in
the
FA
Community
Shield,
the
curtain-raiser
ahead
of
the
new
campaign.

Over
the
years
under
Klopp,
Liverpool
have
usually
played
without
a
traditional
number
nine.
Roberto
Firmino,
Diogo
Jota
and
Sadio
Mane
have
all
played
in
the
false
nine
role
over
the
last
few
years
but
with
Nunez’s
arrival,
things
are
likely
to
change.

From
how
the
Merseysiders
have
featured
during
pre-season,
it
is
pretty
evident
that
Klopp
has
made
a
number
of
changes
to
his
system
to
accommodate
Nunez
and
get
the
most
out
of
his
side.

Here,
we
look
at
the
tactical
tweaks
possibly
incoming
for
Liverpool
this
season.

Different
approach

Klopp’s
4-3-3
system
during
pre-season
have
looked
a
lot
different
when
Nunez
has
featured.
Klopp’s
Liverpool
has
always
been
very
much
fluid
but
the
fluidity
could
reach
a
whole
new
level
this
season.
We
have
seen
Trent
Alexander-Arnold
constantly
coming
inside
in
midfield
with
Mohamed
Salah
and
Jordan
Henderson
providing
width
on
the
right-hand
side.

Meanwhile,
Luis
Diaz
has
been
used
in
a
very
narrow
role
almost
as
a
second
striker
with
Andrew
Robertson
providing
width
on
the
left
flank.
The
midfield
trio
has
also
been
a
lot
more
mobile
and
inventive
so
far
which
could
mean
that
Liverpool
will
be
even
more
attacking
this
season.

Nunez’s
mobility

Nunez
is
a
traditional
number
nine
but
is
more
than
willing
to
switch
positions
with
his
team-mates
when
needed.
He
often
drifts
wide
creating
channels
for
the
wide
players
and
also
comes
very
deep
when
necessary.

The
Uruguayan
international
will
certainly
not
be
playing
in
false
nine
role
but
his
ability
makes
him
a
perfect
striker
to
spearhead
Klopp’s
attack
and
offer
a
surprise
element
for
opponents.
