Fabinho

[Pablo]

I bet he ****ing loved that. He ran riot as the second half went on. Surprisingly pacey!

[gratziani]

Great to see that Klopp lets players find their feet in our system just like last season with Robbo and Ox

Loved his tackling and passing last night

[Shaggy]

I like him but Henderson is increasingly going to have his work cut out getting a regular game. Some showing from Fabinho, albeit a gentle introduction against a **** team.

Wtf is a double six formation?

wtf is a double six formation?

4-2-3-1.

We should unleash hell and play with three 6s

Wtf is a double six formation?

Here ya go

4-2-3-1 FORMATION

The first difference to point out is that unlike 4-4-2 and 4-3-2, a 4-2-3-1 has four rows of players, rather than three. A 4-2-3-1 allows teams to absorb pressure comfortable and then launch forward aggressively. It’s got balance and flexibility.

The defensive unit, which is made up of two Centre Backs (DC) and two Defensive Midfielders (DM)s, is often referred to as the ‘double pivot’. Once the ball is won thanks to the double pivot, the full backs (DL and DR) can bomb down the wings and know that they are covered by the DMs. They’ll often look to cut inside and combine with the No. 10 Attacking Midfielder (AC), nominally the most creative player on the team who is comfortable both dribbling and passing quickly.

The 4-2-3-1 comes unstuck when the opposition full backs push high up the pitch, pinning the wingers back into their own half and rendering the formation a 4-5-1 with an isolated striker. You also need to make sure your wingers track back. If they don’t, opposition wide players can easily overload your defence.



Use against: 4-4-2

It was spoken about on Irish tv during the game last night and other examples of teams using this season for some games and last season were Man City ( when they played us a few weeks back) and Juve (last season and this against big clubs in the CL)

Cheers lads, but setill not sure how or when a 4231 can be construed as a double 6.
Has klopp been on the warsteiner?

Two DMs and two CBs means that when the team attacks there are six dedicated attackers (the two full backs, the AM, two wide men, and striker) in the main attacking unit of the team, but when the team defends the main defensive unit is also made up of six players (four man back line plus the two DMs).


Another way it would be a double six is that both the DMs play in what would be seen as the Number 6 role (box to box DMs of a sort in our case and keeping the passing mostly simple and effective), so a double six in terms of the midfield being made up of a number 10 and two 6s

Interesting one this, horses for courses for each game i'm sure but this is also how Naby is used to playing, and Klopp did play it a lot with Dortmund (if i'm not mistaken?). I can see us maybe evolving into playing with Fabinho-Keita in some games which i'm excited to see

[SB]

Really impressive showing from him & once he does that on a regular basis in the Prem we’ll be really hard to beat.

Yeah, fits a lot of our players well I reckon. Sturridge can play in that in either the 9 or 10 (bobby or Mo) position. Mane and Salah can play in wide and CF positions. Lallana can play in that... Fabinho knew when to drop when big Vurge or Gomez went on a rampage.

Perfect really?

The 4-3-3 seems to have been found out a bit (other than defensively where we look solid af whatever), and really works best when we break quickly, when a team sits in we can get over run in midfield with Salah and Mane not really that effective at digging in.

There was another one about his forward passes and final 3rd passes, but can't find it.
