our midfield

[Shaggy]

Agree totally except with Kuyt in the hole rather than Bellers. Kuyt is more of a support striker and Bellamy is better at running the channels and stretching defences, which is exactly what we need playing against teams at Anfield

Agreed mate. I'd also add Bellamy needs to be on the shoulder of their last man, rather than 'in the hole', to utilise his pace. I can hardly remember us scoring in recent seasons from a one-on-one with a keeper after a defence splitting through ball. We need more of that and Bellamy is our man to get on the end of these type of chances (if we ever create any).

Agreed again

Bellamy is definitely best used right at the front line, even if he isn't available for a pass with his pace he makes defenders indecisive. That combined with his running and quality on the ball should create space and chances for players running from deep i.e Gerrard or Kuyt. I really think Kuyt and Bellers will/should be our ideal starters at Anfield for that very simple reason, creating space is key on a small pitch with 15+ players packed into one half.

Kuyt can also hold it up, and his workrate and movement will help Bellamy out aswell. And he can head it.. bring on tomorrow
