    We literally played it in the second half of the CL final when Bobby came on.

    In fact, we use it throughout the season because Thiago and Fab sit together whilst the RCM advances into attack.

    It might not be a strict 4231 but we're not a rigid 433 either.

    We often go 4231. Did it against city couple years back but more regularly do it when chasing the game and an extra forward is brought on.

    Which is why your mate, Tchouameni would have been perfect as he can cover all 3 midfield roles

    but he only ever wanted the big wage he is getting.

    I would have put him personally more into the no 6 role so i am not so pushed.

    We need then next Alonso IMO. hopefully klopp has a surprise for us.

    no we don't! when have you seen 1 up and a ten behind but rather 4 forwards all up. even when we stick origi on he often just doesn't go occupy the traditional 9 role.

    I absolutely believe we should try and get Nunez even if he costs us £70mill... We should also try and get a solid midfielder... Those two and this new RB kid are plenty for this one season.

    Sell Mane, Firm, Suarez if we have to to fund it all.

    I'd sell Mo too if he'd go, even for £40m. He's obviously planning to go to Brokealona next season for nothing, so sell him and get Abraham too.

    thats debatable to say the least probably more accurate to say below a certain point we might as well keep him and hope he puts in a shift .

    Hmm, yes and no. We wouldn't have got £145m for Ford had we not stood on a principle. It could be worth losing £30m on Mane in the short term to put down a marker for the long term. And for the reverse reasoning, I'd let Mo go for £40m if we could get it, rather than let Barca get him next summer for nothing. I ****ing hate Barca.

    yes but your last point about walking for nowt is the problem . Personally think the absolute most we will get is £35m and that would probably contain some add ons and i would take that to put towards a new CM and RW .

    Obviously we never go one up and 10 behind the ball… because we have the ball for majority of the time.

    The 2 wide players are obviously further forward. It’s more of a 4-2-1-3 formation when we bring on that extra forward. Thiago and Fan will sit and leave the front 4 to be more pushed on. The actual written down formation means nothing as really most of the time its actually more like the below positionally.

    ———Ali
    ——Matip VVD
    ——fab thiago robbo
    —taa
    Salah Jota Diaz
    ———Mane

    Isn't he a free agent? So we could sign him up then sell him to Villa for a profit.

    Mentioned couple weeks ago I def wouldn’t be against signing suarez. I’d much rather him as an option than origi or mini
