We got the right result in the end but some very strange formations that I think even confused the players.
We started 442 (or 4411 with fergy just behind welbs) but often found AliMac as our most forward player.
Lamptey was back to his old self switching from defence to wing but this left us 3 exposed at the back and hence the close shaves from Sala.
After welbs was subbed I would have expected fergs to push forward in a 4321 but it seemed for most of the second half he played central midfield with March, AliMac and Mitoma all further up the pitch?
Do you recon this might be DeZs attempt to accommodate the rapidly improving Fergs without dropping Welbs? or maybe a one-off due to Caicedo absense?
Finally we had the Mitoma and Estupinan switcheroo scenario. Sometimes Mit ran forward to receive the ball from EST and sometimes Mit held the ball up, let Estupinan run past him and then stayed in midfield. Maybe this is a new dynamic to DeZerbiBall - job share
All in all a great result that clearly confused Liverpool as much as it confused me, lol
