Very physical backline that lacks pace horribly but sure what can ya do if there is injuries. Merieles out right is a waste IMO as is Cole out left. Hope either one of the other isn't true. We cannot fit Cole,Merieles & Gerrard into the same 11 in their strongest positions, the only reason Cole is being played at LM is because he is the best option out of a very bad bunch.
Personally i'd play Kuyt out left (same work rate) with Johnson LB( some width when attacking), and play Cole out right where he can provide much needed width,beat a man and get down the line, with Carra at RB providing the cover. Merieles in CM with Poulsen and Gerrard behind Torres. IMO that is the best option with todays squad.

Nah man, **** that width malarky. From Pepe to Torres we need a formation of the straight line variety saying as Roy doesn't do wingers you know.Originally posted by Exiled_red View Postso presumably set up:
Reina
Johnson Kyriakos Skrtel Carragher
Meireles Poulsen Gerrard Cole
Kuyt Torres

There's going to be absolutely no width, we normally rely on fullbacks to get forward as the midfield is so narrow, Carragher isn't an attacking fullback for one so doesn't provide much width in forward areas, secondly left side isn't his prefered side. So any width or attacking play from the fullbacks will almost certainly have to come from Johnson on the right.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Just noticed Kelly is on the bench, is he not fit enough to play, surely he should have gone in ahead of Carragher at left back if he's fit?The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

I was asking myself the similar question. Kelly should be a LB and Carra should be paired with Skrtel..Originally posted by Exiled_red View PostJust noticed Kelly is on the bench, is he not fit enough to play, surely he should have gone in ahead of Carragher at left back if he's fit?Member #1 of the Luis Suarez fan club

Just noticed this. What's the ****ing point of both of them on the bench? Why isn't Shelvey, as a more creative option, being selected? In which situation do we need both to enter the pitch? ****ing shambles.Originally posted by wiw View PostLucas, Spearing
Oh I know the answer, because he's actually talented and can attack.

I think he does but for a guy who is 6'4 he has to be one of the least threats in the air i have ever seen, we lack an aerially commanding CB, maybe The Greek can provide some danger in the air.Originally posted by wiw View PostDoes Skrtel usually go up for our corners? He does doesn't he?
