Liverpool will have one of the best young talents in the world next season, Suso and it will not come as a surprise if soon the Spaniard finds himself in the starting XI regularly.
Reds star is currently on loan with Spanish side Almeria and is doing wonders being the most important player of the club at the age of 19.
For now, Brendan Rodgers’s men are flying high in the league and have all the chance to end their Champions league wait this season. With one of the best attacking force in the league, Suso will further amplify their strength.
One position that Liverpool surely need to reinforce is that of central midfield where they are relatively weak as compared to other departments.
Rodgers has utilized different systems and formations with his Liverpool side like 3-4-1-2, 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1. He will have to change things to fit Suso as well.
Here is how Liverpool should lineup with Suso in the starting XI next season.
4-2-3-1
Suso’s main quality is finding the killer pass, already with 6 assists this season in a side like Almeria, imagine providing those balls to Suarez and Sturridge. Therefore, instead of Coutinho, Suso should play behind the striker.
Phil is also fantastic as a CAM but Suso is relatively slow and you always need pace out wide. Moreover Coutinho has been highly effective on the left wing as well and can always shift positions.
Suarez playing on the right, but that is obviously his position on the chart. We all know he is never stationary and will move in the center, out wide, drop back to help the team in whichever way he can.
4-2-2-2
Rodgers utilized a 4-3-3 formation against Fulham but at most times, it looked more of a 4-2-2-2 formation with Henderson and Coutinho both attacking from the center and out wide with Suarez and Sturridge upfront.
Suso and Coutinho can be utilized as attacking midfielders in this setup to provide killer balls to SAS. The only negative in this scenario is that Suso lacks much needed pace for the wing but still his ability to dribble and hold the ball under pressure can help him there.
Feel free to suggest your formations. Thanks

If Suso does start then 4-2-3-1 formation is the best. I feel no shame saying that he is like Ozil, lacks pace but the final pass is sublime. One for the future
with suso we need a 4-2-2-2 willl do to sting the opponents halala
Liverpool, the best is yet to come
——Suarez – Sturridge
Coutinho————-SUSO
——Gerrard-Henderson
Enrique-Agger-Skrtel-Johnson
———-Mignolet
Subs- Reina,Sakho,Illori,Lucas,Allen,Assaidi,Aspas
Can’t help feeling those formations leave us very short in midfield. With Suso and Coutinho pushing forward it only leaves 2 in midfield especially as Johnson and Enrique like to push forward. I love Suso, but can’t see him displacing Coutinho in a 4-3-3.

Is this the end of the road can anyone hear a lark singing? I feel like i should keep walking the sky looks fxxxing lovely YNWA
Does moyes look like beavis or butthead?
any how Gerrard will be 34 and he need rest during that time Henderson for Gerrard and suso in for 4222 format..
I really like your 4-2-3-1 idea for when we are playing away and we want a more defensive formation in order to be solid at the back and counter-attack with pace. What I’d like to see at home (perhaps not against the top 6 teams, it might be too offensive and leave us exposed at the back) with the idea or really going at our opponents would be:
……………………..Mignolet
Johnson…..Skrtel…..Agger…..Enrique
……………………..Gerrard
Suso……………Coutinho…………Alberto
…………..Suarez…………Sturridge
With Gerrard controlling from defensive midfield and Suso, Coutinho, Alberto, Suarez and Sturridge all attacking and interchanging we could absolutely annihilate teams at home 😀
Still not convinced Sevie G will have the legs 2 control the midfield as previous people have suggesed. Suso is going 2 b top quality but with our current midfield, it’s hard 2 c us being able utilise Suso and Cuthino in d same team. Personally id luv us 2 sign Lars Bender and Marchiso and drop Lucas and Hendo r even Stevie 2 d bench. ………..Minolgret……..
…….Jhonson ….. Skertal Sachko……. Agger…….
… Bender….
Gerrard…. Cuthino….. Suzo/Marchiso/Juan i turbe
Suarez Sturridge/Martinez
………………Mignolet
Johnson….. skrtel/agger…..enrique
……..Lucas……………gerrard…….
Henderson…….suso……….coutinho
……….Suarez………sturridge
I feel this would be ideal at Anfield. YNWA
