Liverpool team v Newcastle 01/11/2014
Mingolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Gerrard, Henderson, Allen (Borini 66), Coutinho (Lambert 80), Sterling, Balotelli
Unused subs - Jones, Toure, Can, Lallana, Manquillo
It wasn't until mid December (around the time we played Bournemouth in the cup and United in the league) that we started to use a back 3.
Yeah, my mistake it wasn't Can, it was Johnson.
Look here though, we still played 3-5-2 that day with Johnson, Skertel, Lovren as CB! Moreno and Sterling as Wing backs.

That's how I remember it^ Newcastle outnumbered us in midfiled (5 central midfielders) against our 3 (Allen, Gerrard & Henderson).
