Formation/Team?

I think with the signings that we’ve mad we could be quite likely to set up similarly to the tactics Rodgers deployed as Liverpool manager. Two strikers and a winger is how I feel Brendan prefers his front three with the quicker of the typical strikers playing as a wide forward. I also think this formation could get the best out of our potent attacking options such as Iheanacho, Daka/Vardy, and Barnes. 

I would set up like this: 

 

I feel that the pace of Barnes and Daka to go beyond Iheanacho may suit both them and Kelechi’s trait of dropping deeper into the 10 position. By using this we would also be play as many of our attacking players together as possible without sacrificing the defensive aspect of the game. Vardy would also benefit as we would be able to use him more sparingly as an impact sub and starting him in games when the situation requires him. This would help ease the burden on him because he isn’t getting any younger. 

 

There are so many similarities with this Liverpool XI:

In my opinion our new signings seem to point to us moving towards a similar style to this. Soumare joining provides us with the opportunity to rotate him in for games where we need more steel in midfield coming in for either the attacking midfielder or one of the front three in a similar way to how he used Lucas in the 13/14 season. The similarities even stretch to the inverted left back with Flanagan and JJ! This formation also brought the best out of Coutinho so therefore hopefully will do similar for Maddison. 

I don't necessarily disagree with that front three but that midfield is probably too lightweight. I think if that were going to be the case Soumaré would come in for Maddison to provide a stronger base.
