It’d be really interesting if Guardiola fielded that 4-2-3-1 featuring their new signings. I think Cucurella and Phillips could be - as you say - “just making up the numbers”, but it’s a possibility.

As a Liverpool supporter it really seems to me that we are looking to move to a 4-2-3-1 as well, with the out-and-out pure striker in Darwin. Pep and Klopp have mirrored each other at times in tactical innovation (playmaking fullbacks for sure).

I think both may be looking to play more directly in Premier League games and try to get ahead earlier to conserve energy later in games when they have control.
