Gary Lineker has suggested that Liverpool are adopting Bayern Munich's high defensive line this season.
Liverpool's defensive set-up has been noticeable since the start of the season, and was the topic of much debate after Monday night's 3-1 victory over Arsenal.
Despite the dominant victory, the Reds were caught out at one stage with Alexandre Lacazette drawing an important save from Alisson at 2-1 which proved a match-defining moment.
Klopp was then involved in a dispute with Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane, after he overheard the former Manchester United captain labelling parts of his side's performance as "sloppy", though the Liverpool boss would later admit it was a misunderstanding.
After overhearing Keane say his side were sloppy, Klopp said: "That's an incredible description of this game, this was absolutely exceptional. Nothing was sloppy. Absolutely nothing.
"From the first second dominant against a team in form, 100 per cent in form. You have to be careful like hell and not get hit by the counter-attacks.
"I think 60/70 per cent of all the balls in behind were offside, you just wait a little bit longer for the flag meanwhile, so that's why it feels not great but it was offside.
"Ali had to make one save, there were two balls in behind, you can't avoid that, you need a goal in these situations.
"Apart from that, the football we played was absolutely exceptional tonight. So it doesn't help for any other game.
"Not for Thursday, not for Sunday. Not for nothing."
Lineker, responding to a tweet, suggested that Liverpool's tactics are 'going down the Bayern route' after the Bavarians used a high line with success in winning the Champions League last summer.
Although the Reds have actually been using the approach for much longer, including in their own run to European success in 2019.
Responding to the clip of Klopp discussing his tactics, Lineker wrote on Twitter : “Blindingly obvious and clearly going down the @FCBayernEN route, but yes, interesting to hear it from the man himself.”
