I’ve seen very little of preseason unfortunately so not sure if it’s obvious but how do we think Gerrard would best incorporate both Tav and Patterson in the team?
I can’t see an obvious answer to be honest, I don’t think either can be pushed forward to the midfield or #10 spot, so would require a change in formation.
Also, I don’t see any formation that would allow the two to use their strengths, both want to attack from deep areas and not sure either is comfortable taking the ball with back to goal either as a #10 or inverted FB position.
I would like to see us trying 3 at the back, I doubt it’ll happen but like the flexibility it’d give. Either as 3-1-4-2 or 3-4-2-1, mastering another formation would make us even more difficult to play against. 3-4-2-1 would maybe allow for both Tav and Patterson but think there are other players better suited.
