They don’t. But if a game ever needed it, they could.Why do they all have to start?

RM did a CL 3-peat playing a 4-4-2 diamond with no wingers.I seriously cannot remember any modern team who has been extremely and consistently successful without wingers. Heck, even Pep’s Barca had them: Henry, Villa, Pedro etc.
Perhaps that's the idea.Diamonds are for teams with attacking fullbacks. Maybe in the future if we're able to bring through the likes of Williams and Laird as attacking alternatives to Shaw and AWB. For now, we're better off sticking to 4231 or 4123.
In which case I'd be 100% on board. Tactical flexibility is a huge asset if you can do it without disrupting your team cohesion. And I'd love to see this club start to turn the recent reliability of talent-production from the academy into a serious part of its forward planning, instead of just treating each good youngster coming through like an unexpected bonus. Players like Laird should be in the manager's plans.Perhaps that's the idea.
Ole is thinking-preparing for bringing in/shafting in better the young attacking minded lads but defensively they're somewhat suspects eg. Williams, Laird, Dalot, etc.
Shaw and AWB needs rests in some games, and then there's injuries + precautions to consider. We're really thin in options aren't we.
Having two genuine DMFs in a diamond midfield meant extra security, to help the attacking-minded FBs defensively.
Well-Balance.
Would you draw this formation for me, please?Klopp plays a 4-2-3-1
My first reaction was exactly this, however, if we're struggling against a low block defence where pace doesn't matter so much it could work.In order to that to work we would need a back 5 with the wingbacks being extremely offensive to provide width, with the proposed line up we would hardly produce anything, neither AWB nor Shaw attack well enough for it to work.
The disrespect of Nemanja MaticI've seen posts mentioning who should be our 3rd Midfielder etc. Why can't we play 4 mids in a game sometimes?
Can you guys suggest/discuss how we can get the most out of our Mids. This was a problem position for us even a year ago, essentially we have signed 2 players with Bruno and McT gaining more experience.
Don't forget to include Matic too, he still has a few more seasons left in him.
The four mids could be played as a compact diamond to really flood the midfield areas and dominate against more difficult opposition with our fullbacks providing the width (only 1 attacking at a time and the opposite fullback staying back to form a back 3 to prevent counter-attacks).
Can you guys make any suggestions as we have a lot of talent in our midfield ranks, there can be some games which we play a 4-2-2-2 diamond etc to mix things up from our preferred 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 respectively.
That was their starting formation, but how many times did Ronaldo and one of Isco/Asensio/Vazquez shift out to the wing to make a 4-3-3 during a game. Bale would primarily play on the right when he started too. Do you really see one of Pogba, Fred or Matic shifting out comfortably to the right (Rashford would to the left)? Bruno could but that would be stupidly limiting his contribution.RM did a CL 3-peat playing a 4-4-2 diamond with no wingers.
With Marcelo and Carvajal as fullbacks...RM did a CL 3-peat playing a 4-4-2 diamond with no wingers.
I mean I guess.They don’t. But if a game ever needed it, they could.
You miss this...
