Alexander Ring to NYCFC

That's factually incorrect.

Boom!
 
I'm kidding around but I do think the 4-3-3 is a very flexible formation that's played effectively in a number of different ways and many successful examples can be found that don't have a dedicated CDM.
Not any that include a defensive line like ours.
 
1) When you have Chiellini behind you, I could play D Mid

2) My personal opinion of the 4-3-3 is when you have 3 decently athletic and interchangeable players in the midfield who can defend, pass, press and move forward. That's orettt much what Liverpool does right now, even if you consider Henderson a defensive player

Or if you never give the ball away, a la Barca.
 
If we partner Pirlo with 2 box to box mids who are both decent defensively and will work hard then we don't need a CDM.
If we want to have someone playing as a number 10 like Camargo/TMac then i think we will need a CDM.

433 is an extremely adaptable system that many teams use and some play in a completely different style to others. Unlike 4-4-2 it is hard to define exactly what type of players are needed for each position.

The problem with Pirlo is that you need to build a midfield around him which is a problem when hes only here for 1 more season.
 
From the quotes he sounds like a great addition. Hopefully the visa comes through soon so that he can start getting some pre season reps
