I've been criticised for suggesting he should play there in a narrower 3 and ditch the wingers. I think he's shown he can defo do it. Grezda Defoe Morelos That would look OK....if only Grezda wasn't shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Mina, Sanchez, Falcao y James is regular. Rest of team is mix of not play much or never play. Quieroz is use the two games to see players that not play much and experiment.

Not suggesting Morelos is failing, obviously he isn't. But as a team the 4-5-1 isn't working. I'm suggesting moving him 5-10 yards to the right of a forward 3 not playing him on the wing.

I see Grezda as quick inside forward, Defoe as a poacher and Morelos has talent to do it all. I think it could work. To be fair we need to try something.

We don't play any creative mids as it stands because we don't actually have any. So play Kamara, McCrorie and Arfield and supply the front 3 to do the business. Width from our attacking fullbacks.

He's doing it all himself up there just now id have Kent and Candeias on before Defoe, Defoe is just a luxury player to us, at his age and size, he is not up to the job playing thro the middle by himself. personally id let him go, id give Grezda a shot, he looked good last week when he come on, id rotate Kent, Grezda and Candeias but Morelos needs to stay where he is.

Defoe doesn't do the harrying and pressing like Morelos who creates things all on his own. In a 3 though he's have people close to him and could concentrate his efforts on movement in the box Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Defoe as an isolated lone striker in our league is daft. We lump is to him as if he's Alfredo and wonder why he can't wrestle 2 guys off back to goal and run around bullying a defence. We bought a poacher and he doesn't fit a 4-5-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all relative. He's going to run the league very close. He might still win it and he's still on the champions League. They are getting closer all the time and the team above them have more money than almost anyone else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 63,958 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Klopp's formation works because he has 3 world class forwards and arguably the best left back in the world on one side and a top class one on the other side.

We have never stuck with it to give it a chance. We play it maybe once every two months and go back to the usual 4-3-3 which we don't suit us.
