Have to say I have been wanting us to try a striker with the front three and I loved it! It wasn't over crowded, mane and Salah still found space in behind and thought solanke played really well, so pleased for him. Genuinely think next season at home we would be better placed to start a striker with firmino behind.

i really liked it too. Upgrade wini with keita and buy an expericanced striker in his peak and rotate him with solanke. But we're probably going to sign another attacking midfielder rather than a natural striker. I would of course like both.

I’m sorry, don’t go overboard about Solanke after a game against a team already on holiday. He’s got potential but has a lot to do to even have a chance of a regular place. Klopp will quite rightly add more class to the midfield and I’m not sure Lallana will be a part of that next season either. His twists and turns slow the play down and frustrate players making runs,

If someone like fekir comes in we could still play firmino up top. Just nice to see a change in formation work. Not like the 3 at the back.

Firmane, I thought of you when I saw the formation cause it's like the 532 you suggested but with the extra centre back as a striker instead. Worked really nicely and could do really well having an extra attacker in there against the teams that sit and don't want to try to attack very much. The good thing was it didn't seem like the guys were any less effective for having Solanke about and he caused Brighton problems having an extra player to think about. I wouldn't play it when we have to spring counters against higher calibre teams, but for opponents like today's it worked really well.

Think I suggested more a 5-2-3 but yeah I don't see the need for three simile cms when the team just sits back, may as well put someone like solanke who can score and hold up and bring others in.

We can fully play a 4-2-3-1, it'd be my preferred line-up tbh! Ox, lallana, firmino, keita, fekir (if! ) can all play that CAM spot then we have the engines behind in milner, gini, hendo, and keita. Rekon the two man midfield gives us more balance and better shape.
