Having watched Walter's last few seasons highlights Walter usually played a 442 in domestic games whilst changing to a 451/541 in European football.
However Walter seemed to always play a very narrow form of 442 with Broadfoot and Papac filling full back roles having previously played centre half. Interestingly Walter also played Davis as a right midfield player occasionally playing lafferty or naismith wide too.
I suppose what I am getting at is Walter had players that could play different positions in different formations and as much as we used to laugh and criticise players playing 'out of position' he was very successful. Walters 442 I would suggest was more fluid during games changing as and when required and this would be one thing that Gerrard doesn't seem to do very often.
With Hagi signing I think we might change to a 4231 next season but I would like to think we would have players that could change the system when required. The 4231 could become 433 or 442 diamond shape with hagi up top with morelos.
With the current squad this might be our strongest starting 11 that could be flexible when required?
Mcgregor
Tav goldson helander barisic
Jack davis
Aribo Hagi kent
Morelos
Kamara to replace Davis when required and Arfield could play in hagis position with hagi moving to either flank?
Thoughts bears?
