Liverpool played it very well under Rodgers the year they slipped up to lose the title. We've had some very good performances with it against big teams, but in general it's been the drizzling shits.The diamond is just an excuse formation to play Central midfielders in wide positions.
Can't think of one team that have ever used it successfully.
We've used it before (was it Ossie with the famous five?) I remember when England used to play it and Sherwood was picked left of the diamond and looked (as expected for a right footed Central midfielder) awful.
I can only think Poch thinks it's a way of changing our starting lines making more angles for passes but there's more to it than just picking players and telling them where to go.
