    Can I pick myself?

    Interesting from Agger and Poulsen.

    Was Cole pissed when he did this?

    Lucas a tad cocky without having a keeper.




    When it comes to picking an all-time five-a-side team, how would your selection compare to Pepe Reina's or Lucas Leiva's, for example?

    LFC Weekly recently asked several members of the Liverpool first-team squad to pick their dream teams for the small court, consisting of players they've played alongside during their careers so far.

    It's a question many of them didn't find as easy as it may sound. Here's how they chose...

    Raul Meireles

    "That is difficult! My goalkeeper would be Pepe Reina. My defender would be Jose Bosingwa. The midfielders would be Lucho Gonzalez and Stevie Gerrard - and in attack Lisandro Lopez.

    Raul's team: Reina, Bosingwa, Gonzalez, Gerrard, Lopez.

    Pepe Reina

    "Wow, a difficult one. I'll say Casillas in goal. I'll say one defender Carlos Puyol. Then Xavi from Barca, probably Stevie then David Villa as the striker. That's not a bad team, eh?"

    Pepe's team: Casillas, Puyol, Xavi, Gerrard, Villa.

    Milan Jovanovic

    "There are a lot to choose from, such as Branislav Ivanovic at Chelsea and Aleksandar Kolarov at Man City. But if I was picking a team I would go for Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Nemanja Vidic and Milos Krasic who is at Juventus. Goalkeeper is easy, Pepe Reina.

    Milan's team: Reina, Vidic, Krasic, Gerrard, Torres.

    Joe Cole

    I'd like to qualify this by not including any Liverpool players as I don't think that would be fair. Okay, I'll select big Pete (Cech) in goal, JT (John Terry) at the back, in midfield I'd have Michael Carrick and Frank Lampard and Paolo Di Canio up front. That team should be alright!

    Joe's team: Cech, Terry, Carrick, Lampard, Di Canio.

    Sotirios Kyrgiakos

    "I will say Giorgos Karagounis, Giourkas Seitaridis, Steven Gerrard, Martin Skrtel and Pepe Reina."

    Soto's team: Karagounis, Seitaridis, Gerrard, Skrtel, Reina.

    Jamie Carragher (selecting players he watched as a youngster)

    "It would have to be a Liverpool-Everton line-up because they were the best teams. So Neville Southall in goal. Kevin Ratcliffe for his pace at the back to stop us getting counter-attacked. Graeme Souness in midfield. Kevin Sheedy as a left-footer. And it would have to be Kenny up front wouldn't it?"

    Jamie's team: Southall, Ratcliffe, Souness, Sheedy, Dalglish.

    Daniel Agger

    "Pepe in goal. Elmander from Bolton. I had two years with him at Brondby. Then Bendtner because he's my friend. Simon Kjaer, my partner at the back for Denmark. And Stevie of course."

    Daniel's team: Reina, Elmander, Bendtner, Kjaer, Gerrard.

    Christian Poulsen

    "Without picking friends, I would have to pick Gianluigi Buffon in goal, who I was with at Juventus. Then Dani Alves for his energy. I'd pick myself and Steven Gerrard in midfield and Ebbe Sand as a striker because he works very hard for the team."

    Christian's team: Buffon, Alves, Gerrard, Poulson, Sand.

    Lucas Leiva

    "Oh dear, that's a tough one. There's so many I will have to leave out. I'll say Ronaldinho, Stevie, Fernando Torres, Kaka and myself. I would have to be in the team and I would be the captain! But I think I'd need to do a lot of defensive running to allow the other four to attack. I think that would be a pretty good five-a-side team."

    Lucas's team: Lucas, Gerrard, Ronaldhino, Kaka, Torres.

    Danny Wilson

    "Gerrard, Torres, Steve Davis from Rangers and I've got to pick myself. In goal it would probably be Pepe. It's close between Pepe and Allan McGregor because Allan McGregor is a good goalkeeper but I think Pepe edges it."

    Danny's team: Reina, Wilson, Davis, Gerrard, Torres.

              I know there is an element of bias, but It reiterates how highly thought of Gerrard is - and rightly so.

                Gerrard pretty much an automatic starter in every side. What a player we have.

                      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.
