my opinion is merely that sides sit deep and surrender that possession to deliberately give us that.

deep and narrow = no space.

our press looks best v better sides as there's more space to counter in.

catch a guy with back to play a bit wide with no out ball and sprint at him and win it... turn over. paly ball in, chance, goal.

Yes that's true, because they know that if they give us space we have the players to exploit it. It's also true that we play a game that seeks to dominate possession. The less time the opposition has the ball, the fewer chances they're likely to carve out.
Whatever the reason for it, the fact is that we play a high-possession game, and we need players who are good at unlocking difficult defences because this is what we're up against most of the time.
I believe this discussion started by asking if we thought Werner was right for us - as I don't know much about him I can't say, but I don't think we'd benefit much from another counter-attacking player - except for rotation.

Liverpool star Sadio Mane has revealed he’d be more than happy to welcome Timo Werner to Anfield this summer.

What’s the story?
Well, Liverpool have been linked with Werner constantly due to his pace, movement and versatility, all of which make him a perfect Jurgen Klopp player.
The 22 year-old could be a replacement for Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi, both of whom are expected to leave this summer.

Now, Mane has spoken out about his desire for the club to bring Werner to Liverpool.

As quoted by ESPN, he told Sport Bild: “I’d advise him to join Liverpool. I like his style of play. Very forceful, good finish, always giving it 100 per cent. If he wants to join us, we’d welcome him to our team.”

Mane went on to say that the young striker had stood out when he watched RB Leipzig last season, echoing the sentiments of Werner’s former teammate Naby Keita, who also thinks Werner should swap Leipzig for Merseyside, per the ESPN report.

Roberto Firmino has thrown a party themed around the colour of his teeth! Watch the video below to find out what we’re talking about

Would he be a good fit?
This transfer is almost too obvious in terms of the connections between the clubs and the Reds’ need for another centre forward.

With Sturridge and Origi both set to follow Dominic Solanke out the Anfield exit door, Klopp will have to invest up front to improve his squad depth, and Werner’s ability to play on the wings or through the middle kills two birds with one stone.

Then there is the fact that Keita and Werner are good friends, Mane is chipping in to lure the striker to Anfield, and on top of all that he has just one year left on his contract after this season ends.

The 22 year-old has struck an incredible 55 goals and 20 assists in 101 games for RB Leipzig, and also has nine goals in 23 Germany caps.

Agents Mane and Keita are on the case, and this one looks like another genius Liverpool transfer in the offing.

I actually don’t like this
Whether this lad is quality or not is irrelevant
Players should not be publicly trying to entice players
Not cool imho

Pointless story, I am sure if asked Mane would welcome the opportunity of playing with Messi, Dybala, whoever. It does not mean we are going to sign them.

Breaking news: Roberto Firmino has stated his desire to have played alongside Pele. Does this mean an Anfield switch is on the cards for the Brazilian legend? Blah,blah, insert lazy journalism fluff here, our sources indicate this could happen, blah blah
