Rodgers right to switch formation…

in mid-December, Brendan Rodgers switched to a back-three from the laboured 4-3-3 we’d be stumbling along with during the early months of the season…

Ever since, we’ve been one of the better sides in the country, and if we can maintain our current levels – we have a realistic chance of winning a cup and finishing in the top four.

These stats (courtesy of WhoScored) prove that while the back-four values a possession game more – the back-three is faster, more aggressive, more exciting, and ultimately – more successful.
