potentially the strongest team weve had in 20 years that.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Surely this has been done to death in about twelfty other threads.

 

And yes, its a pretty strong team - but I fear rotation means it would get significantly weaker given the back up.

I can see why you suggested Kuyt as a possible transfer

looks good doesn't it - and yeah, if alonso stays thats why id sacrifice kuyt.

Definitely. Assuming Keane plays up front with Torres, then if we need someone for RM we just call on Gerrard, Benayoun or Babel.

if Babel takes the next step up this coming season, then this may well be our best 11.

I'd just like to say how excited I am, that John Arne Riise, does not feature in any of these formations.

 

Gives me goosebumps when I think of his name not on the teamsheet.

I am equally happy that we are free to say such things without being bombarded by nonsensical bullsh*t from the Norwegian monoped's (not so) secret lover.

 

It's refreshing.

I don't see Barry playing in such an advanced position

[Stevie H]

I don't see Barry playing in such an advanced position

no chance. babel, kuyt or benayoun in that role if that's the formation. barry to rotate with mascherano, alonso (praying that he's still here) and lucas in the middle two.

[Dalglish]

With Barry probably in and Pennant, Finnan out I would go for the following formation.

 

---------------------Reina------------------

Carragher----Skrtel----Agger-----Dossena

-----------------Mascherano---------------

-----------Gerrard-----------Barry---------

--------Kuyt----------------Keane----------

--------------------Torres-------------------

 

Subs: Cavalieri, Arbeloa, Degen, Alonso, Benayoun, Babel, Ngog

 

No place for Hyypiä, Lucas and Aurelio on the bench if all players are fit - which they will never be.

[fred milne]

--------------Reina----------------

Carra---Skrtel---Agger---Dossena

Gerrard--Mascherano--Alonso---Barry-

--------Keane------Torres---

Switch Arbeloa/Degen for Skrtel and that's probably the most sensible formation open to us if Barry arrives and Alonso stays.

[blago]

--------------Reina----------------

Arbeloa---Carra---Agger---Dossena

------Mascherano-----Barry-------

----Gerrard----Keane----Yossi----

----------------Torres--------------

[elmo]

------------------Reina----------------

Arbeloa-----Carra---Skrtel/Agger---Dossena

--------------Mascherano------------

--Keane---Gerrard----Alonso----Yossi/Babel--

----------------Torres--------------

 

with Alonso tracking back a bit and Masch going further down when defending

[ma_chaud]

--------------Reina----------------

Arbeloa---Carra---Agger---Dossena

------Mascherano-----Barry-------

----Gerrard----Keane----Yossi----

----------------Torres--------------

 

 

change yossi for babel and you have the formation. 4-2-3-1 a la valencia. two holding midfielders one right footed the other left. with your four most potent and expensive forwards who are interchanging, being provided with servies from the bombing full backs. There there my friends you have a title winning team. IF they all stay fit.

Do people actually watch players before posting these formations??

 

Xabi sits deep alot. He lies far deeper than your formation. In reality I think if he stays it will not be effective to play Xabi & Masch together.

 

And Keane would be a complete waste of money if you stuck him on the right of either 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1. He needs to be swopped with Gerrard on your formation.
