Liverpool got wreckt 5-0. You should be worried. PSG/Barca/Real Madrid could make a game of it with 10 men. Why not your Liverpool?
I think explaining why a team that plays the way Liverpool do would be very poor when trying to switch tactics and bunker up but it'd be a waste of time.
Liverpool are going to struggle against any team that forces them to defend for extender periods of time because it's not the way they're drilled.
I still think PSG/Barcelona/RM would be in trouble against Pep's city with 10 men even though PSG and RM are clearly better teams.
Why should I be worried? Liverpool probably had more chances and looked slightly better before going down to 10. They're not going to play most teams with 10 men, and they're definitely not going to be playing against City's attack at home in those circumstances any more this season.
It's an unfortunate thing but aside from the dropped 3 points which sucked and losing Mane for 3 games I don't think it tells much more than what we already knew...Liverpool as a team don't do well when asked to sit back and defend because it's not the way the team is set up, drilled or taught.
