Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes rediscovering their unpredictability will help his side by giving opposition teams another dimension to think about.The Reds boss insists their recent problems have not been caused by being "worked out" as that happened a long time ago, but he is keen to make things less straightforward for rivals.Klopp deviated from his established 4-3-3 to play 4-2-3-1 in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Rangers after accepting prior to the match he had to find a solution to their issues.But Klopp insists it was not because opponents had finally discovered ways to expose his tried-and-tested methods as that happened years ago, it was just his team was playing so well they could not effectively implement their plans."For us it is much more important for us that we become unpredictable again and we need different systems for that," he said ahead of Sunday’s trip to Premier League leaders Arsenal."It is not the only system we can play: is it 4-4-2, is it 4-3-3 or is it 4-5-1, 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1?"We don’t want to make it more complicated than it is but there are obviously different systems available for us and we have to choose which one is the best for the next opponent or the best for us in the moment.

We have to be more unpredictable, definitely."On his tactics being 'found out', Klopp added: "Teams worked out how they can play against us when we are not at our best."There is no system in the world with no weakness: five at the back, four, three, no one, it is all about how we perform""Other teams have worked out how to play against us for years but it didn’t work out for them because we were exceptional."In our best games I could show you the parts where we had problems and in the moments when you don’t
