yeah you have a point since the record tv deal, more mid table and non established PL teams have been able to spend more. If it's not a leveller then why every time I watch a match where one team uses a form of that formation, it's evenly contested. An indication it's evenly contested is also by...

well they vastly had it 2 seasons back didn't they? so I don't know why you question their superiority. the 4-2-3-1 is a leveller though. I believe only two top quality sides at most should use the 4-2-3-1.

what contenders of the premier league or contenders of the champions league? btw, I think you even accept and know in your heart of hearts, premier leagues top clubs are being dragged down by other clubs who are jumping on the bandwagon of a formation that is incredibly reliable for giving you a...

sorry I didn't realize there was a rule saying that I can't state my opinions in a civilized way.

Newcastle played a defensive 4-2-3-1, aka 4-4-1-1, with their wingers still being as versatile as they would be in an exact 4-2-3-1. Another match ruined. More to do with defensive resilience than open football. Fantastic work ethic by Newcastle, nevermind the onside goal disallowed, newcastle...

this formation makes me genuinely despair. It's these people that will make sure that English clubs will not be a force in Europe and leave Spanish clubs to keep making the CL a more exclusive, lesser tournament. - a much worse prospect, than what he's suggesting I and people who agree with my...

please, by that logic, they should be doing as well this season, since they walked to it last year, oh wait

your team must be good at operating in the 4-2-3-1 then, even though I'm less surprised now.

that's surprising, what league?

Mahrez is one of leicesters key players. Key players for teams do get a lot of assists and goals. Look at Henderson last year for Liverpool. Mahrez is a talisman for Leicester, it's harder to argue that he's not a great player though, than it is with vardy, as it's rare to find a midfielder be...

tactics and formations are responsible for 60% of the results there has ever been in football. You might call what klopp has done is great man management, but I think he's just given belief to the team as a whole through his man management, that has been more impactful. Can one mans...

Yeah it's more entertaining under Klopp than rodgers, at least rodgers went to a back 3, and had liverpool had more time to adapt to that formation, we would be entertaining at anfield. scored 3 past villa, with 2 freak goals conceded, from preventable crosses, should and could of scored 5 past...

well liverpool aren't exciting in the 4-2-3-1, regardless of whether I mis-read it or not, can you please get to the point. instead of like one of the previous guys trying to find fault my with english skills... and linking that to my judgement

You implied klopp can't use any other formation to get results at home, and implied I thought leicester were only a workmanlike team, the reason why I think they are top. I replied. It's a good kop out, criticizing the response instead of responding in a reasonable way. sorry, but how is any of...

rude, seems like your open mindedness is on par with your ego

and how long does your team intend on playing 4-2-3-1? until it comes up against 4-4-2 diamond and gets beat 6-1 like southampton lost to liverpool by

Coutinho, Coutinho's link up with firmino is majestic. I like to see Barkley being direct though and in an england shirt. Same with Deli Ali, love to see him competing for england.

that's a bit snide, and if I where a football purist why would I condone a team who is not highly established in the premier league topping it? I think we have different ideas and definitions of what a football purist is meant to be, no doubt people will probably back you up though in your...

I just mentioned the international because it has been the time I've watched him in most detail, obviously I've seen clips of his goals on match on the day. If the premier league was of any quality this season (comparable to previous seasons), you and I both know, the winner of the golden boot...

LOl you tell me off for not watching Vardy enough. but you've obviously not watched liverpool: "You want results and you want exciting football, but maybe Klopp doesn't have the players to do both. Maybe he does, and maybe he does in a 4-2-3-1." - you think we can score 3 at the bridge, 4 at the...
