Rafa's Best XI?

[Exiled_red]

I'm going to be controversial and go 442:

Reina
Johnson Carra Hyypia Riise
Gerrard Alonso Mascherano Garcia
Torres Crouch

Subs Dudek, Agger, Arbeloa, Hamann, Benayoun, Kuyt, Bellamy

[Icon]

Pepe
arbeloa carra sami riise
didi
kuyt alonso
gerrard luis
torres

[Shanks]

Reina

Carragher----Hyypia----Agger

Hamann

Gerrard------Alonso

Luis Garcia

Kuyt----Torres----Bellamy

Subs: Dudek, Arbeloa, Glen Johnson, Masher, Benayoun, Crouch, Cissé

That's not a bad shout.
I didn't think to change the 442 formation.

[Fernandinho]

Pepe
arbeloa carra sami riise
didi
kuyt alonso
gerrard luis
torres

what formation is this??? 4-1-2-2-1 never seen anything like that lol

[Shanks]

That would work on the basis of they score 3.
We score 5.

Riera more effective than Garcia?

Seriously..

[Reece]

Riera and Garcia were both inconsistent, but Garcia popped up with great goals in big big games and for that he'd be ahead of Riera any day for me. Plus, Riera seems a bit of a ****. And I loved lil Luis.

[CJ]

Riera made a huge difference to the team in his first season. garcia was a better player and Riera of last season was ****e but looking at the team for me he has to be in it.

i would put riera on the left and garcia on the right.

[Shanks]

Riera made a huge difference to the team in his first season.

So did a lot of players under Rafa.

[Reece]

I'm not saying Kewell should be in the team, but it really is such a shame that he had such a bad time with injuries. I remember he signed on my birthday and I was so ****ing excited. He had the odd great spell, but never really produced the goods, mainly (IMO) due to the injuries. He really could have been a top top player for us otherwise.

So did a lot of players under Rafa.

a lot of players made a difference full stop.

i think it was more to do with riera rather rafa.

also surprised that arbeloa isnt on more peoples list.

[Reece]

i think it was more to do with riera rather rafa.

I think if you look at what happened to him at other clubs, it strengthens your point there.
