Liverpool’s Possible 4-4-2 Formation With £20m Wilfried Bony Signing

MC) Jordan Henderson

Henderson’s legs and energy will be essential if the Reds are without a third central midfielder – meaning Coutinho would unlikely be risked in the position because of his lack of defensive acumen.

AML) Adam Lallana

The £25m signing provides balance and work-rate on the left, and he can drift infield to link up with midfielders, or hug his touchline to create width.
