The Reds need to stick with their Brazilian forward as a central striker and keep a prolific Egyptian operating from a wider role, says Hutchison <\/div>\n

Liverpool need to resist the urge to tinker with their attacking unit, says Don Hutchison, with the Reds at their best when using Roberto Firmino as a central striker and Mohamed Salah in a wide support role.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp has moved his prolific Egyptian forward down the middle at times this season, with experiments made with a system which uses two up top.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have, however, enjoyed greater success when operating with Salah and the in-form Sadio Mane providing deep-lying assistance to Brazilian frontman Firmino.<\/p>\n

Hutchison believes that should be the go-to approach in an ongoing Premier League title bid, with that formation playing to the strengths of the Reds\u2019 most creative and potent attacking threats.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool midfielder told Premier League Productions<\/em> while reflecting on the Reds\u2019 most recent outing \u2013 a 3-0 win over Bournemouth: \u201cIt was comfortable and Liverpool could have scored three or four more. Liverpool were sensational.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were better that Mo Salah was playing off that side, he wasn\u2019t playing as a No. 9, he was off the right-hand side up against [Diego] Rico the full-back. Firmino playing through the middle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got to play that 4-3-3, Klopp, until the end of the season. He\u2019s got to get Mo Salah one-v-one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victory over the Cherries briefly lifted Liverpool back to the top of the table, prior to defending champions Manchester City crushing Chelsea 6-0.<\/p>\n

The Reds do still boast a game in hand on Pep Guardiola\u2019s side, with 12 fixtures to come, and Hutchison believes chasing could favour a team which have spent much of the season leading.<\/p>\n

The ex-Scotland international added: \u201cThere was no nervousness inside the stadium, different to when they were seven points clear, especially against Leicester when they went 1-0 up a couple of minutes in and they didn\u2019t really know what to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it suits them, chasing. When they were five clear and seven clear, everyone was saying, \u2018If they\u2019re going to blow this, it\u2019ll be a bit of a bottle job.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey scored after a couple of minutes against Leicester and then for 88 minutes you were watching a side not knowing what to do. They comfortably see it through 1-0 or go for four or five but they didn\u2019t, they were in no man\u2019s land.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might just suit them, the way Liverpool are with all the emotion of going for the holy grail trying to get it over the line, to chase it for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
