Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is well famed for his high pressing, fast paced style of play, otherwise known as the 'gegenpress' system.

It was a tactic which worked wonders during his time with Dortmund in Germany, and on it's day for Liverpool, you can see it in all its glory when it comes together, much like the demolition of Arsenal at Anfield a few weeks ago.

However, this type of football is difficult to maintain over the course of a Premier League season, and with the Champions League now a factor too, it could all become too much for Liverpool's players when it gets into the winter months after new year.

For all it will breed positive results, tiredness and injuries are bound to set in playing this way, meaning the Reds will no doubt fall short at a crucial point in the season.
