Liverpool 2.0 reminds me of Jurgen Klopp’s best Reds teams - Shay Given analysis

Jurgen Klopp calls his remodelled Reds team 'Liverpool 2.0', but watching them is a reminder of what his best Anfield sides have always been like.

Liverpool definitely needed some freshening up over the summer, because last season I'm not sure some of their players had the legs to play the way Klopp wanted them to.

The front three were still pressing, but the midfield could not get up the pitch to back them up. Teams were playing through them, and causing them lots of problems.

It's different now, and what we are seeing is more like the kind of 'heavy metal' football we saw when Klopp won the Champions League and Premier League.
