Well, no, I don't think I think they will.

I just think... I just went on a sort of thought process and I thought, well...

I could see a case for it.

I don't quite understand why the lopsided front 433 hasn't made a revival sooner.

In fact, it seems as far away as ever in many respects.

I got to thinking about it by thinking about the two...

On paper, Liverpool's two best footballers going into next season are Alexander Isak and Florian Wurz before they buy anybody outstanding.

People will make cases about, you know, the captain and the keeper, but if Liverpool is to prevail, Wurz and Isak are our future.

And Liverpool need to be, and the new manager, I'm sure, will be hugely invested in that partnership working.

And thinking about it as a partnership was the...

The thought experiment, a route I went down, when I started to think, well, Isak's a quintessential, well, 80s, 90s striker who's not just an elite finisher, but an elite mover.

What do you need with a striker who can move incredibly well off the ball with fantastic technique?

You need someone who can pick him out.

You need his number 10 behind him, a true, but a part of the number 10.

I'm not keen on the description of number 10 as the most advanced midfielder.

I often think people are talking about an eight, really.

I want to wear an old-school definition of a 10, which was Dalglish to Rush's nine, Beardsley to Aldridge's nine, and in latter years, Bergkamp behind Wright.

Who would United have... Dwight York to Andy Cole, et cetera, et cetera.

Now, what was also common to those... So I started thinking about it in that sense.

Verts behind Isak in close proximity, one serving the other, one getting you 25 league goals, but the other chipping in with a healthy 14 or 15.
