And FYI stop acting like 4231 is this revolutionary formation we have been missing out on.
Valverde is well aware of the formation and used it when he had Dembele healthy and was chasing a goal.
The formation has serious flaws defensively, if FDJ and Pjanic are going to be our pivots we need the rest of the team to work extremely hard to make up the lack of midfield control we will have. There's a reason Klopp went from a 4231 to dominating with a 433. They became so much more solid defensively with it and didn't leak goals left and right.
The formation works for Bayern due to how disciplined the players are and hardworking too. They have actual pace to hit you on the counter and can play direct.
Coutinho Messi and Grrizmamn are not the players for this formation only Dembele is which is exactly why Valverde only used this formation when he had him available.
Fyi Koeman has a number 10 fetish according to many Everton fans he signed multiple 10s only to try and accommodate them all in 4231 and conceding 4 goals per game before his sacking.
