... what's your preferred solution for the PSG game? Vote and explain why.
I chose Shaqiri at "false 9". He played this position in a couple of games in pre-season and I was surprised how confident he looked playing centrally, making runs in behind and holding up the ball like a proper CF. The solution with him on the right looks natural, of course, since this is the position he usually played at Stoke, but then we also have to move Salah, which means you are changing one position to accommodate another. I won't be unhappy with either solution (including Sturridge), but Shaq in the middle seems like the most intriguing one.
