However, Liverpool’s set-up consists of two inverted wingers and a striker who all want to get in on the action. “He’s playing with two inverted wingers who both want to come inside now rather than two wingers who are flying down the wing to provide chances for him.“It’s such a different setup and a look to what he’s been used to.
