Brendan Rodgers wants to solve Liverpool's goalscoring problems and has identified a move away from 4-4-2 as key to their success.
Rodgers, who was appointed as the club's new manager earlier this summer, utilised a 4-3-3 system at Swansea last season and appears keen to implement a similar formation at Anfield.
Liverpool struggled for goals in 2011-12, managing little more than half that of the top two in the Premier League and finding the net on fewer occasions than relegated Blackburn.
Much of the blame was directed at the Reds' misfiring strikers with Luis Suarez frequently hitting the woodwork and Andy Carroll a figure of fun for some.
But Rodgers wants to see a fluid system that will see Liverpool's goals coming from a variety of sources.
Formation
"I want to bring more goals into the group," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo. "That can help the group. That is what this season is about.
"People talk about the goalscoring last year. They talk about playing two strikers or one striker, but it's about your players.
"For a lot of last season the team played 4-4-2. People cry out about playing two strikers up front, yet everyone at the end of the season said we didn't score enough.
"With 4-3-3 you play with three strikers, depending on the types they are - whether it's one up and two wide or one up and two more narrow.
"That means the draws can turn into wins and the losses turn into draws. If we can get goals into the team and keep our stability from behind then hopefully we can fly."
