Klopp's counter press works perfectly vs Pep's set up

Was saying this the other day during the Everton/City discussion. I would only really trust Klopp to take on Pep with the high press.

Klopp teams love it when's opposition teams play high up the pitch and pass out from the back. Their strength is knocking the ball high up the pitch and attacking the space. The way to play Liverpool is to sit back and deny them space, while probably also playing direct to bypass the press, which is why they often struggle versus the "lesser teams" despite doing well in big games.
