all said and done, i think the 4-3-3 has had it’s day in all fairness.
the injury crisis has shown if we have 6 key players out and/or being played out of position, it’s just not working. that kind of system is not good enough now for a potentially great team like this which wants to contest titles.
a 4-4-2 diamond with two up top is worth considering. drop the two off form attackers on the bench.
it can accomodate for an injury too if one is out for a bit.
thiago or keita as the tip of the diamond and we have fab/hendo and a new cm as rotation in cm.
doesn’t require too much outlay in the summer either.
every cloud has a silver lining and all that. setbacks and failure are just an opportunity to learn. just hope klopp and his team use this opportunity to evolve this team.
We're struggling because we went about the evolution in the wrong way and players were played out of form through that and onfield relationships and interactions that were automatic breaking down and not functioning at the same level or doing things as quickly because of that
We played a diamond v West Ham, but it wasn't a conventional diamond, both forwards played wide most of the game and Gini didn't stay at a fixed point either, when he scored Thiago was in the No6 position
The fluid midfield 3 that happened last season was natural evolution of the team and using Thiago as the third mid in that was all that was ever needed to evolve it further and his passing to create greater variation of movement, but we ditched the fluid 3 before he even arrived, Klopp and the coaching staff have made a right fucking pigs ear of things since they made unforced changes to the team which at the time had been playing better than it ever had and was regularly breaking down low blocks without issue
