Could 4222 Shape Be Liverpool's Next Tactical Step?
As much as Arsenal fans on the internet will tell you otherwise, the Community Shield is a glorified friendly and its importance should be framed as such.
There were, however, some interesting takeaways for Liverpool in their 1-1 draw -- and subsequent penalty shootout defeat, again -- with the Gunners at Wembley.
Namely the switch in shape from the Reds' usual 433 alignment to a 4222 shape or, as its also known, the box midfield.

A Full Circle
I have been a Liverpool fan since 2002 when the football scene in Malaysia was booming. Everyone in school had a favourite English football team. The earliest game I can recall is the one where we lost to Man United 2-1 when the ball went through Dudek's legs to Forlan. Yeah that game! That’s my earliest memory of LFC.
From then to now, from Hyypia to Gerrard to Hendo, the journey has been amazing. Other clubs may have seen more …
Key Stats as Liverpool celebrate trophy lift with a bang
Liverpool briefly returned to an earlier version of themselves where everything was a bit chaotic, they didn’t have two competent centre-backs and they were scoring goals for fun, as they won 5-3 against Chelsea in their final home game of the season, on a night where the Premier League trophy lift took precedence over the actual football. But what were the key stats from a fun night at Anfield?

Silence isn’t golden
We’re a few weeks into this football falseness.
We’ve won the league for the first time in 30 years and it felt incredible. But for me, only for a few hours.
Then a form of depression set in; sadness that the trophy - that ugly silver premier league totem with an awfully grotesque lion atop - when lifted by a recently-lame Jordan Henderson will be done so not to cheers to the Kop rafters but in a shell-like Anfield.
It’s …

Thursday night wasn't pretty, was it? In a game where Liverpool pressed from the start and looked determined to lay down another marker, City just picked The Reds off with ease. Klopp was understandably tetchy after such a poor result. Everyone expects a response from the Premier League champions on …
Built on Emotion, Yet Ruthlessly Executed
Somehow, it was inevitable that it ended this way.
Not with a roar that had been pent up for thirty years, not with a glorious cavalcade, not even in front of any fans. In fact, there weren’t even any red shirts on the pitch at the end of the ninety minutes that confirmed Liverpool as champions.
Liverpool’s title celebrations were a long, long time coming. Tragedy had become ingrained into the club’s fabric, yet the close-calls and traumatic experiences – …
Title-Winning Liverpool the Best for Decades
Well they did it. It’s over.
Liverpool were officially labelled Premier League Champions as Man City slipped up at Chelsea, losing 2-1 and giving Liverpool a 23 point lead with seven games to go.
This is the first time in my lifetime I’ve seen Liverpool win the title and for many of you it’s likely either the first of your life or the first one you’re old enough to remember.
And for me, this Liverpool team is unquestionably the best …
