I wouldn't say it's more defensive.
4-3-3 with 3 defensive minded CMs can be pretty defensive.
4-2-3-1 with a real 10 or someone like Griezmann (the system Deschamps used at Euro 16) can be very offensive.
Agreed but if we played Pogba at 10 and got a new DM (for now McTominay could work) then we might be able to shelter our shitty defense a little and allow Lukaku, Sanchez, Pogba. Martial/Lingard/Rashford to go forward.It could. But it’s typically a more defensive formation.
With Mourinho as coach, every system is defensive.Sorry, should’ve specified with Mourinho as coach. No such thing as an offensive 4-2-3-1 with him.

I think that's stretching it. They won the Europa and the League Cup just last season and are sitting in 2nd place in the PL. They don't look great but they've been fairly successful.
My problem is that when they go down a goal, you get the feeling that they aren’t coming back. They continue to sit in and they don’t try to attack. Obviously yesterday was a bit different because they were going to be out of the CL but we also had close to every single attacking player we had on the field. I think my biggest problem is not his lack of attacking but his lack of versatility.I think that's stretching it.

Well, people who are out on Mourinho have got to ask themselves, is it the football or the results they’re angry with?

Liverpool are in on Timo Werner according to Miguel Delaney.
Hopefully they didn’t burn too many bridges with RBL. Would glad do another Keita style deal with them to lock this one up. Bayern is obviously the favorite but am glad Liverpool is going to give it a go.
Liverpool summer targets look like (alphabetically):
Alisson, Jorginho, Pulisic, Werner
I don’t think anyone else has been reliably linked
They need both. Midfield has been a persistent weakness.Jorginho? Why?
You guys have Keita on the way.

Jorginho and Keita would be their best two midfielders. Liverpool is loading up. No reason they can’t play together.
Jorginho has been linked often by the club’s best writers as well. This is not Keita? just a tabloid link.
I don’t think anyone expects Can to stay.I guess that means Can is gone for certain?
Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Ox , Lallana... plus Jorginho and Keita?
I dunno if Jorginho really suits you guys defensively, but he would certainly be your best passer and pull the strings better than anyone you have.
Jorginho is more of a Pep style player to me . I thought you’d guys would be in the market for a genuine class DM.
I don’t think anyone expects Can to stay.
Milner is probably winding down. Lallana has had injury problems. No one else on that list is immune to being upgraded.
Klopp doesn’t play with a DM. Jorginho would actually fit pretty well. They need those things that you have mentioned. Liverpool is more possession orientated than people realize. Their system is not to different to Napoli.
Yeah, doesn’t look good. But then again I thought Southampton would never do business with Liverpool again either.No way in hell Werner goes to Liverpool after what happened with Keita. Just gonna automatically forget about that one.
Did I miss something? What happened that was so bad? When Liverpool lost Coutinho then went and tried to get Keita early. They were willing to pay extra but RBL wanted to keep him through the year. That was all I saw. Was there something else?No way in hell Werner goes to Liverpool after what happened with Keita. Just gonna automatically forget about that one.
