It's strange - of our midfielders, so few of them are suited to positions in a 4-2-3-1. You could argue that Hendo, Milner, Coutinho and maybe Lallana too would find their best position to be part of a midfield 3. Coutinho, as we saw under Rodgers, is at his absolute best in the number 8 position. He can make space from deep, run with the ball, and unlock a defence with a pass without shirking the dirty work. Lallana, arguably, could offer similar qualities. However, they both distinctly lack the physicality to work in a midfield 2, which means they're limited to what are essentially forwards' positions despite neither being really natural goal scorers. Meanwhile, Hendo and Milner are engines, good at almost everything without being world class at anything in particular. They are the perfect players for a midfield 3, but less than ideal for a midfield 2. It's a curious thing really, and it makes me wonder about what Klopp's got planned for the future. In Grujic and Wijnaldum, he's brought in midfielders very different from what we have already, and who seem, on paper, much better suited to playing in a midfield pair.
