Pep was clearly referring to Klopp's style of 'attacking' without the ball or pressing

Even Liverpool's fans know that Klopp is a counter attacking coach

TheGoodJoe:


All teams counter attack but when you want to classify them, it is on their strengths. When Liverpool play, they are hardly on the back foot. No matter the team. We can term them a counter attacking side. Real Madrid is difficult but if they meet Barcelona today, you can guess which side will do more of the defending. Real Madrid. But if Barca meets Liverpool, I bet it will be Barca on the back foot.

Can we play attacking football? Of course we can but it depends on opposition. Top teams will skin us if we dare it. If we think our wingers are fast, we should not get carried away. Top teams have defenders who'd neutralise them.

Subzero047:


Klopp is not an attacking coach but a counter attacking coach

kloop is a counter attacking coach yet plays a possessive game
mtchew confused being

I have said this thing so many times we don't have the players to execute the fantasy football that people want. I was watching highlights of our AFCON 94 triumph Oliseh provided 4 solid assists as a DM oh! bar Mikel how many midfielders have we produced that come close to such performance then we beat our chest that we want to play attacking football as if it's by mouth

Subzero047:

Where did Pep say that?

TheGoodJoe:


Put that team in this current set up and you will see poor performances. Let that team play in a Conservative tone and you will not believe they are capable of great things.

We need to grow as a team from training to live performances. Negative play will limit us from reaching our level.

the same attacking football siasia's team will play, score 5 and conceed 4 lol

sheyishemba:


pep didnt say that
me am asking that
kloop Is an counter attacking coach and yet plays a possessive game

sheyishemba:


like?

Subzero047:


How about you put this current setup, will they provide those kind of performances? Will Ndidi and Etebo dominate midfields

Edopesin:
it depends on the team we're playing sha, There are teams we should never try to attack
With the team we have now we should be able to outplay/attack any African team including Senegal sef and be able to break any counter attack

TheGoodJoe:


That is growing. Winning or drawing games on the negative play is deceiving yourself you are good. Three years down the line, you will see yourself saying this team is not capable of good play.

Give Siasia these boys and see them pull off things that will impress you. Siasia never had the chance to build a team.

There was a time Leicester City whipped City four when we were learning Guardiola's system. Now,
we are a menace to even top teams.

TheGoodJoe:


Yes they will but it does not happen overnight but we will be heading somewhere. Are you not seeing Ndidi's transformation at Leicester? It took Westerhof five years to get that team gunning on all cylinders.

Also he continued scouting and looking for players home and abroad that will suit the system. Not benching an offensive side back for a central defender because of negativity.

How good was keshi's afcon winning team?

TheGoodJoe:


Like which team? Argentina?

Subzero047:

Possesive game? With Milner, Henderson and Fabinho?

Edopesin:


Argentina will always have the attacking edge over us, we will always be on the back foot against them and depend on the counter

Utonwanne:


Are they good enough?
That should be the question.

If they are good enough, why are not seeing them in other top leagues?
