    Do you have any imagination

    You've pilloried the lad for ages,
    and you couldn't even sell him to Newcastle

    Our forwards are not the right type of forwards for a 4231 and our full backs are too damned good to waste in a 4231

    Just accept that Jurgen likes a very fluid and flexible formation that is deliberately a little lopsided and it being so is a huge factor in why it works
    With 433 it's fluid, variable, lopsided and we can even "spend spells of many games playing an effective 4231" you say.
    But 4231 - an opposite, Klopp's only a man whose used it before at Dormund and with LFC.

    You seem to believe he couldn't put what I regard as our best 11 together in any other formation and make it work better, it has to be 433

    Here's how I see it:

    We have a back 4 & Alisson, with Robbo/Tsimi the current discussion for starting v West ham. That much is set as far as Klopp goes, we rarely enough play a back 3.

    Imo we have Fab and Hendo 2 real grunts and four Klopp approved forwards that make up our best 11 thereafter.
    What the best formation for those 6 is, I'm not sure, but it does appear as though a different setup might get the best out of them.

    Salah nearly always is furthest forward so he's really our most advanced player in all setups.

    The way I see it our best 11 on paper are the following

    Alisson
    Trent Matip VVD Robbo
    Hendo Fabinho
    Mane Firmino Jota
    Salah

    When you look at that 11 and where our back ups can play in the setup, I think it would be beneficial to our squad with rotation.

    If I had to pick Klopps 433 and those 11, I'd replace Gini lcm with Firmino and have Jota CF. But it doesn't look like the best deployment of those players given their talents.

    Ok Mane, Jota and Mo are not winger or midfielders, you'd be asking them to play as both things for periods in all games and one of all of their greatest strengths is playing on the last defender's shoulder, 2 of them wouldn't be there even nearly as much in a 4231

    Our full backs are the best attacking full backs in the league, in Europe in fact, in a 4231 the wide players in the 3 get in and occupy the space the full backs like to play in, playing deeper not in the same positions to make runs in behind our forwards aren't creating the space for the full backs to run into/arrive into anywhere like as frequently

    What you suggest simply doesn't play to the greatest strengths or our very best players

    Augmenting the midfield from one 6 and two 8s to two 6s and one 10 really isn't that much of a big deal.

    Certainly can't envisage the crisis at fullback you are predicting as we've seen how Klopps played 4231 here and at Dortmund.
    Here it was scoring more goals, and not any real difference in goals conceded.

    You're talking about ancient history CCTV, the 4231 you're talking about was a long time ago, we've done a lot of evolving since then, individually and as a team and as a squad too, the goals were drying up in that system ,it's why we went to 433 with a higher line and press

    I find it astonishing you think our forwards can suddenly become wingers and spend large chunks of the game in midfield and deeper not making the runs in behind and think that wouldn't interfere with their form (which is excellent right now) or our full backs, actually, I find it hilarious Stick to fantasy manager lad
