Old School Wingers: Liverpool's Next Stage of Evolution.
The 433 formation has served Liverpool well over the years.
A feature of this shape has been the use of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah -- the wide forwards that spearhead the Reds' attack -- on their ''wrong'' sides, the left-footed Salah on the right, and the right-footed Mane on the left.
