Interesting. 4231/433?

At least I hope so. I would have played Agger as a central defender and placed Skrtel on the bench with Wilson on the left of the defence.

[JohnDoe]

I hope Meireles and Kuyt are out wide, not because they're any good there, but I'd rather maximize Suarez behind Carroll. That's where he should play going forward.

Have you not seen Wilson play left back??? He can't play there

It'll be this surely:

As much as I hate sacrificing Agger as LB he is always better option than Wilson.

Neither can Agger, Johnson or Carra. Not much difference between them in that position. Agger in the middle would mean quicker counter attacks and better build ups.

be shocked if we don't line up like this with Suarez, Kuyt and Meireles inter-changing

Carragher at RB and Skrtel CB surely

I'd also rather play Agger as CB but I don't think Kenny will today.

[Pablo]

It all feels a bit meaningless really . Still nice to see Suarez and Carroll up front together for the first time

[RichC]

Carragher at RB and Skrtel CB surely

yeah hungover and my copy pasting skills today are not at their best!

Changed it but you beat me to it

centre of midfield is an issue though isn't it.

[Arn]

Agger should play in the middle everytime he play. He is our only central defender that can be an attacking threat.

Playing him on the left is what a manager that is happy with a point would do. A manager that want to win would play Agger in the middle and place someone else on the left.

You know what you will get from Carra and Skrtel in the middle. Hoof hoof hoof and it is easy to make them do it. Stress them and you know that they will hoof.
