The Frenchman has predominantly played as the deepest midfielder, a role which Fabinho currently fulfils to perhaps a world-leading level for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side. Unless a change of shape was in the works, it could see Tchouameni offered a rotational berth at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>And while that would be music to the ears of Liverpool fans, it is unclear whether that is a move that Tchouameni would accept.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Aurelien Tchouameni\u2019s game by numbers vs PSG:<\/p>\n<p>100% tackles won<br \/>\n99% pass accuracy<br \/>\n73 touches<br \/>\n59 passes completed<br \/>\n6 ball recoveries<br \/>\n5 attempted long balls<br \/>\n4 successful long balls<br \/>\n3 duels won<br \/>\n3 interceptions<br \/>\n2 fouls drawn<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s going to the top. ?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GH00oh8kUT\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/GH00oh8kUT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StatmanDave\/status\/1505549702305091587?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 20, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Across at Manchester City, the story is largely the same, with Rodri one of the first names on the teamsheet for Pep Guardiola.
