Thing about automated football is that most people don't realize is the players initially enjoy the superiority it gives them but deep down they aren't sure if it's just the system that's making them look good, the player subconsciously doubts his ability (1/4) https://twitter.com/3rdManRun/status/1310670278851166208

And when the brain simply can't take any more loops, the nice football wears off & now that little doubt crops up & all over sudden half the squad secretly believes they just might be mid. This is what's happening at City & Spurs. (2/4)

Klopp's setup keeps the player operating in his individual self with a few guidelines on how to respond collectively so the same player can find his own solutions but the player doesn't regress, instead they find new solutions & with good coaching work to polish weaknesses. (3/4)

We live in an era where everyone is trying to automate football but no one has found a consistent solution, Barca are fixated at trying to recreate Pep's prime Barca but not even Pep has managed that. Klopp has basically brought back simplicity but on mental & physical steroids.
