For it to work for Mendy and Cancelo going forward we have 3 CB and DM in front

pointless playing wingers with either playing as they get caught out too many times

we need a CB with pace

You won't be able to play with just 1 DM in front of a back 3. You might think it makes us more solid in defence, but the 1 DM will have too much space to try to cover. You'll have to bring 1 of the FB's further back which is essentially how we are playing now with Walker. Either that or 2 midfielders in front of the back 3 which means a midfield of Gundogan and Rodri, or Kev playing deeper. Then you'll have 1 less midfielder attacking.

Not just liverpool though, barcelona at their peak, madrid too have had full backs providing attacking width while at the same time having tucked in wide forwards and attacking midfielders. The trick is having centre backs that can read the counters and are quick enough to cover them as well as having a d.m intelligent enough to drop in.
We have only Laporte and he’s missed the season. If we have Laporte and Koulibaly Rodri dropping in we’ll see a different team next season. The centre backs are key.

Different leagues, different playing styles; I dont think it's comparable. You don't get the smash up front to big, strong, quick athletes in other countries anywhere near as much as you do here. It still happens but it's not a tactic, here it's classed as sophisticated style of play (even Frank Lampard told Chelsea to go long against us the other week).

True. The game against Bournemouth was worrying even though we won.
Bournemouth pressed us well and high up the pitch. First we were unable to play out from the back quickly with Stones and Otamendi along with Walker. Lots of times it resulted us in going long ourselves which we lost possession.

Their tactic was to go long from their keeper with big physical forwards in KIng, Solanke, Stanislas along with Billing a midfielder. They won the duel in the air every time and were immediately in our half putting pressure on us.

The difference between that game is that we took our chances in goal where we had multiple chances against Arsenal and failed at all of them. We need to be more clinical and score 1st to put the pressure on other teams to come out and play. When they are up a goal they will most times go into a shell.

We do need a CB who can play quickly out from the back, but they should also have enough physical presence to handle big forwards in the air for us to win the 2nd balls to gain posession.

I see Jack Harrison is staying at Leeds for another year. How long does his contract with us run for?
 
Did anything come from that guy saying he was waiting for an email on Thursday who worked on Liverpools transfers or was it a proven WUM?
