Our strongest XI?

[dww]

funny how everyone is picking aurelio at left back. is that because we really rate him or that we don't rate dossena? personally i think aurelio is a really good footballer. and i'm really surprised that an italian defender like dossena hasn't had a totally comfortable start to his liverpool career particularly on the defensive side of things obviously.

I picked him because I think he is a good player. I think he could be improved upon but Dossena has not shown he is the man to do it so for now the shirt is Fabio's to loose IMO.

I think Babel remains best from the bench. I like Keane but until he proves he can link up with Torres then he won't be getting into my first choice team. Dossena hasn't done anything yet to show he deserves a place ahead of Aurelio.

Yup for a Cup final or big matches that would be my team. For weaker sides would probably put Babel in instead of Kuyt. Really hope Agger regains his form as feel bad leaving him out.

Think its the same thing with Keane, he hasnt proved himself yet playing in a Liverpool shirt. Would be interesting to see how peoples change by the end of the season.

I'd say if we could get this team playing on a regular basis then there's no reason we shouldn't be competing at the top of the league, afterall it's basically the team we've been playing with since last January and done so well with, but why pay £20m for Keane and leave him on the bench?

I think Keane will become more and more important as the season goes on. I don't think we'll win it this year but I hope to be closer than before.

swap kuyt with gerrard and play keane behind torres. that's easily our strongest 11. I think if Agger plays himself back in he'll replace skertl also.

But what a bench, keeper, degen, skertl, dossena, kuyt, lucas, babel. ngog, el zahr, yossi

This team will lift the CL trophy in Rome:

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

Arbeloa--------Carra----------Skyrtel-----------Agger

Kuyt----------Gerrard----------Mascher----------Riera

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

Dont' agree with you often Rage, but you've got it spot on!!

He is aware of the lawsuits Sheffield Wed. filed against their supporters, trying to tone down a bit me thinks.

ok shaggy - i accept ur boredom challenge! for me - strongest XI to start 2moro in a game that we had to win to save my life or something would be this

I'd go with the 4-2-3-1 formation - i believe it's a our strongest formation, we played some great football last season using it and it's the most flexiable

line up

----------reina---------

arbeloa---JC---Skirtle------Aurelio

-------Mascher---Alonso-----

Kuyt-----Gerrard------Keane--

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


thats our best team, strongest XI no arguements hands down!

No Riera

reina

arbs JC skittle Aurelio

Mascher Alonso

Babel Stevie Riera

Torres


Once Keane starts scoring goals this will change obviously.

Unorthodox but probably spot on.
