You can see the same happening now with Jurgen Klopp and the same with Pep Guardiola at Liverpool and Manchester City.”“But with Emery I don’t really see his philosophy. What is his philosophy? He’s changing a lot, he’s changing tactics a lot. It looks to me like he’s changing his playing style based on the opponent, and I think it does show real...
