As the old saying goes, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Jurgen Klopp took that very much to heart last season as Liverpool ended their campaign with their sixth Champions League title. Despite narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City on the final day, all in all it was an incredibly successful season for those on the red half of Merseyside.

But perhaps there is something the German needs to add, not just to his team but his own game management. The Reds very much centred around the 4-3-3 formation, and very rarely if ever steered away from it. It was a tried and trusted set-up which brought great dividends.

However, as teams begin to get a bit more cuter to the way the Reds play, the effectiveness of the system will surely take a bit of a hit. And that's where being a bit more flexible could help the side no end next season. In the games where the Reds are perhaps expected to dominate and win, does Klopp really need the security blanket of having both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in the same team?

The duo are fine players in their own rights, but their strong suit is breaking the play up, not providing a defence-splitting pass or carrying the ball forward with their dribbling. Taking one of the pair out and bringing in someone like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain into central midfield, where he shone at Arsenal, could give them an added impetus in the middle of the park.

Indeed, could the Reds perhaps even switch things completely and go into games with more of a conventional 4-2-3-1 or even a 4-4-2 and simply throws opposition teams off? One of the major successes and highlights of Pep Guardiola's time in management has been his willingness to try different things and spring a surprise.

In the Premier League - where the element of surprise is often lost considering you play teams twice a season – Klopp could do with adding some variety into his thinking. It could also be the key in rejuvenating his team after their successes last year; that drop in energy levels and desire is often expected after achieving something so great, but Liverpool could well offset that by bringing something completely new to the party next season.
