This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's style of play more than talent. by NDMike2001
The smaller clubs tend to pack it in to try and frustrate Klopp's open style. But Mourinho will do it to. Because he doesn't give a damn how people think his team looks. That matchup should be quite a chess match between the two.
But you can kind of see what Klopp may try to do this year (at least against Hoffenheim). It looks like he's going to try and concede possession in spaces in the midfield to force teams to stretch out more. He's also allowing defenders to push forward (sometimes even on the attack) dropping his midfielders. Again, the goal to not only attack, but to cause the opposition to respond by attacking as well. I don't know if it will work. But damn, it will make the games entertaining to watch.
