Will we see more of 4-2-3-1 with Phillips and Haaland you think?

Big teams…….and Crystal PalaceKalvin gives Pep options now. If Pep wants to play two cdms against the big teams in champions league or the top 6 in the prem to help stop counter attacks he can now. If he wants to see out a game and take a midfielder off he can bring Kalvin on to give us more defensive strength. Don’t want to play Rodri in a cup game Kalvin can play as a lone dm. Peps got another option now with this transfer.
Which makes us stronger
More? Probably. If Pep wanted to make it the main system we'd need another DM. Lillo was the master of the 4-2-3-1. Not sure what we're in for with his departure.Will we see more of 4-2-3-1 with Phillips and Haaland you think?

Can see Gundogan playing that role more and more so we’d have 2 DMs rotating between Rodri, Phillips and Gundo, and 3 AMs rotating between KDB, Bernardo, Grealish and Foden, with Sterling as cover for Haaland if he stays.More? Probably. If Pep wanted to make it the main system we'd need another DM. Lillo was the master of the 4-2-3-1. Not sure what we're in for with his departure.

I seem to remember Pep saying he bought Mendy with a view to going 2 up top with Kun and Gabby if we needed. Mendy's crossing ability being a factor.Will we see more of 4-2-3-1 with Phillips and Haaland you think?
