Since 11.3 has been out, I've been working on a 4-2-3-1 which gets the best out of Liverpool, including Carroll and Suarez. I tried a narrow diamond, with Suarez as a poacher and Carroll as the target man. Neither striker really hit it off so I tried again with a 4-2-3-1.
The tactic isn't the prettiest, playing the long ball game to Carroll and then getting as many men forward as possible to feed off his knock downs and to support him. The 2 wingers, preferably Suarez on the left, and Kuyt on the right, play a huge part. Giving them an attacking mentality and max. creative freedom allows them to bang in a fair share of goals and providing for Carroll. Gerrard's given a support role to try to make sure the tactic isn't over attacking, helping out the 2 central midfielders.
Anyway, enough of my talk, here is the tactic:

Yes, it's just a simple 4-2-3-1. But it's worked quite effectively thus far for me.
The players in the screenie are the players I'd reccomend and they do fit the tactic pretty well.
I haven't completed too much as yet, so that's why I've released it now and I'm looking for 3/4 testers. I'll update the OP when I've done more of the season and so on.
