    Given how we operate in terms of age profile, I would not be entirely shocked if we sold Mac Allister, acquired a younger player in a more DM mould as a (not like-for-like) replacement and we made Grav more of an 8 than a 6 in the process.

    Disagree,klopp stated that the 4 2 3 1 asks to much of the 6s who have to cover more ground,imo being one of the two 6s is reason behind macs poor season and better suited to a midfield 3.

    Would Mac Allister of this season improve any other team in the league? Not for me. He'd make every single one of them worse. That's what we have plodding around. Needs binning.
    VOTE JOCKY tae fix this fiasco.

    What would you know about formation change that Slot doesn't?

    And before you answer remember that he has won titles as a player and a manager over the course of 25 years.

    And this title winning manager with over 400m worth of players added to a title winning team has to take blame for this season if he takes praise for last season.

    Whatever. I asked you a question. What is it you know about formation change that Slot doesn't?

    Don't go changing the subject. Just answer that question.

    You mentioned slot and binning mac,i stated a formation change might help mac.
    Funny how you have a dig at almost every player but not one negative comment against slot.

    Can you stop making shit up and just answer the question? My thinking is that if it was as simple as making a formation change then Slot would have done it already. He has 25 years under his belt in professional football.

    So what is it you know about formations that he doesn't? I gave you good advice when I first asked that question. I'll give you better advice now, we all know the answer already. You know nothing. So stop blurting out shite that doesn't make any sense.
