3 reasons why Jadon Sancho will be wise to choose Liverpool

2. Playing style

Without relying on a possession-based approach adopted traditionally by Pep Guardiola's sides, Liverpool play attractive, attacking football. They use attacking transitions to devastating effect, different from a simple counterattacking system as it involves winning the ball as high up the pitch as possible and bursting forward in numbers before the opponents have a chance to organize themselves.

The playing style has clearly benefited the attackers as Mane, Firmino and Salah, while good at their previous clubs, have become household names and one of the most fearsome trios in the world. The rise of Salah has been unprecedented as the Reds coaching staff have used his deadly pace to transform him into an elite goalscorer. Mane finished 4th in the recent Ballon d'Or vote, while Firmino is arguably the most important of the three as his unselfish and intuitive play allows the other two to thrive.

Playing for a team where the football is dour, defensive & unimaginative has been known to adversely affect attacking players rather than enabling them to change the side's fortunes. Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan at Manchester United are clear examples. Sancho would be a part of a superbly coached side and know what is expected of him without being bridled with excessive defensive duty, allowing him to do serious damage in the final third.
