redbear28 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) well i imagine.. till carroll is fit we'll just play suarez where the c*** would have played.. probably keep the 4-2-3-1.. but when Carroll is fit we'd prob revert to a 4-4-2.. but then without no natural width.. and well.. a midfield pairing of mereiles and gerrard.. maybe gerrard playing the more defensive roll... personally.. i'd go with.. 4-3-3.. --------------------------Reina ------------Kelly-----Carra---- Agger----Johnson -------------------------Lucas---------------Gerrard----------Merieles Kuyt/Cole/Maxi------Carroll----------Suarez Edited February 1, 2011 by redbear28
drvegapunk Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) When everyone's fit, I'd like to see: -----------Reina Kelly Carra Agger Johnson -----------Lucas-----Meireles Aurelio -----Gerrard Suarez-----------Carroll Edited February 1, 2011 by drvegapunk
Stevie H Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 reina johnson carragher agger aurelio meireles lucas maxi gerrard suarez carroll i still genuinely can't get past 4-2-3-1. i love it.
Walrus Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Our first XI looks nice enough... ---------------Reina Kelly-Carragher-Agger-Johnson -------Meireles-----Lucas Maxi------Gerrard--------Suarez --------------Carroll ...but our squad is incredibly thin after that, isn't it?!? Who do we have? I can only think of Skrtel, Aurelio, PFK, Shelvey, Kuyt, Cole, Pacheco and N'Gog as players who I could imagine getting some minutes. I'm forgetting someone, aren't I?
Toni Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 wouldnt play suarez on the wing..he needs to play 'in the hole'...

Well you're forgetting PFK is gone. Which is inexcusable.

Extraordinary Swindle Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Well you're forgetting PFK is gone. Which is inexcusable. Think it should have been CFP - those TLAs can be confusing at times.
Flanders Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 All fit and on top form :- Reina Kelly Carra Agger Johnson Gerrard Meireles Lucas Cole Carroll Suarez
johngibo YPC Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 When everyone's fit, I'd like to see: -----------Reina Kelly Carra Agger Johnson -----------Lucas-----Meireles Aurelio -----Gerrard Suarez-----------Carroll When you look at that line-up, its a shame we didn't get Charlie Adam
Flight Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 ---------------Reina Kelly-Carragher-Agger-Johnson -------Meireles-----Lucas Gerrard----Suarez--------Maxi --------------Carroll Gerrard and Suarez floating between each others positions and Kelly pushing up the pitch covering the right flank. -----------------Reina Kelly----Carragher-Agger-Johnson ------------------Lucas Kuyt----------Gerrard---------Maxi -----------------Suarez -----------------Carroll With Gerrard given his usual license. ---------------Reina Kelly-Carragher-Agger-Johnson Gerrard--Meireles-Lucas--Maxi ---------Suarez---Carroll However its set out we look more balanced than we have since Xabi left with more attacking threat than we have had since the early 90s.
Case Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Well you're forgetting PFK is gone. Which is inexcusable.You've also forgotten Jay. Watch yer back next time you pass a bmx park.
Walrus Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Think it should have been CFP - those TLAs can be confusing at times.Well, indeed! You've also forgotten Jay. Watch yer back next time you pass a bmx park.True.

Molby Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I don't think we can play Raul so far back without either blunting him or risking leaving big holes if he acts on his natural inclination to bomb forward
Conrad Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I don't think we can play Raul so far back without either blunting him or risking leaving big holes if he acts on his natural inclination to bomb forward correct
Molby Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 correct but that gives us another problem, taking your formation as an example, and that's Gerrard certainly for the rest of this season and next, to harness his talent he needs to be able to explode, as it were, and he needs to be higher up to do it
Conrad Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 but that gives us another problem, taking your formation as an example, and that's Gerrard certainly for the rest of this season and next, to harness his talent he needs to be able to explode, as it were, and he needs to be higher up to do it In fact, we arguably have 4 players - Gerrard, Suarez, Meireles and Cole - all best suited to the same position - the 'hole' in a 4-2-3-1 Interesting to see how Kenny works it

Tosh Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I reckon we'll see a front of... Gerrard --- Meireles ----- Lucas ----- Maxi ---------Kuyt ---------- N'gog ---------- We have to recognise that Suarez will be constantly suspended and Carroll could be anywhere
Molby Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 in the future, I'd like this: Pepe Johnson Agger Kelly Aurelio Shelvey Lucas Gerrard Raul Suarez Caroll I think that has the best chance of getting the most out of our top players, and even then Kenny will have to instil some old school overlapping in to our full backs
Flight Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I wouldn't move Kelly from RB. Or Johnson from LB. Spend big on a CB in the summer, keep Agger fit, bring in Adam and Young and we are back in business big style. I love the bones of Aurelio but I've long since given up on him being fit long enough to be a regular. Shame as he'd be one of the best LBs in Europe if he was.
