Liverpool Football Formation
Lineup (3-5-2)
Balotelli · Sturridge · Markovic · Sterling · Coutinho · Can · Gerrard · Lovren · Skrtel · SakhoGives a bit of defensive solidity while putting more attacking players on the pitch.
Basically, Gerrard and Can become extra defenders, with Gerrard being the most deep lying of them.
Back 4 can shift left to right depending on the flank of the attack. Attacks through the middle meet a twosome of DMs who can break up the attack.
Gerrard can do his quarterback thing here, and has 3 really quick players he can hit on the counter. Coutinho is also in there to supply the quick incisive passes when needed.
