20 - Dani Olmo

This is literally the type of system he has played in his entire career.

Even Spain have adopted it.

Yea, that doesn't change the point.

The 10 is always covered by the DM in a 4231, so if he's off or the DM is super sharp, he's being olmo or whoever will have difficult time.

It's really now that hard to understand and see, if you just over lap the formations

Like I said, I explained this before, won't rewrite, but he needs to move deeper and drag DM with him to create space when he's having a off game

There is not a single top manager that plays a 4-3-3 nowadays.

Only way we return to it is by hiring another scrub like we did all those years.

Pretty sure that's what Liverpool plays.

433 is the best formation in football, and we have the players to pull it off, bar a DM.

4231, is just to make up for your DM not being class is most instances, like ours.

We play closer to a 4231 under Slot. Szoboszlai is the AM.

It’s more like a 4231.

The DM is arguably the most important position in a 4-3-3 and unless you got a world class one it won’t work.

Unless you’re signing Rodri it won’t work.

It’s just my opinion, but I’d rather not go through the pain of the flaws the 4-3-3 have again unless we have an elite CDM.

We’ve already seen how it looks when Busquets declined considerably.

It’s not pretty.

Nah it's closer to 433, Szoboszlai just pushes forward more, he's the player to replace BTW for the midfield to level up

PSG also 433.
Dude I watch every single game of ours. Slot himself said it on Sky in a post match interview.

A quick google search will confirm it.

Szoboszlai is pretty much a 10 under Slot. He's part of the first line of pressing too while Macca and Gravenberch form something close to a double pivot.

And yes, technically 4231 is just a variation of 433 or vice versa but if you really want to classify formations then Slot plays a 4231 unlike Klopp who played 433.

Do you watch every game though?

Back to Olmo.

If he keep getting injured and sucks in big games again next season then they should seriously consider replacing him.

You cannot rely on a player like this.

Hopefully he does better.
