Welcome to LFC Charlie Adam

[RedReet]

Il be honest and out it out there... if we hadn't had paid so much for carrol, I think he would be the guy to make way in this team! with suarez playing up front with gerrard henderson/adam and lucas behind!
That said I think Suarez could do a great job on the left or right of a front free either side of Caroll! I think we will be hit with a few more headaches after more signings start to happen!

I don't think Suarez would be suited to playing as a loan striker. He will drop deep looking the ball and drift out wide, and when he does he’ll have no target to hit. If we get him to hold his position more, we’ll be severely handicapping him.

That being said, at the minute I feel we can pick a stronger team without Carroll in the line-up. I hope to be converted before pre-season ends though.

Any ideas who these two youngsters might be?

I read somewhere that Darby is off to Rochdale on loan

I suppose it would be similar to Spain Euro's line-up, but I just don't think it suits our team, well not with the players selected there.

It's actually the one tactical set up that has excited me actually. It seems that it could make the most of the majority of the players we have and build from a strong centre of the pitch. A lot of the other formations/tactics I have seen don't IMO make sense in terms of making best use of both Carroll and Suarez.

I think it will be more like this..........

------------------------Reina
Johnson-------Carra------------Agger---------????
-------------Lucas-----------Adam---------
-------Suarez---------Gerrard------Downing/Mata/Cazorla-----
-----------------------Carroll----------------

I like that much better than the first option.

It's more like 5 from:

Doni
Skrtel
Kuyt
Spearing
Aquilani
Meireles
Maxi

oh yeah and Kelly

Not a bad bench (Hendo may be on it too)

@WillWatt
Liverpool are believed to have paid a cash sum of around £7m for Charlie Adam. No players involved.

[Baracus]

I think it will be more like this..........

------------------------------Reina
------------------------------Carra-------------------------
Henderson - Spearing - Poulson - Merieles - Aquilani -Gerrard - Lucas - Adam
------------------------------Carroll---------------

I like this

Tatics

- Renia Long kick/Throw up the middle
- Carra Long huff up the middle
- Carroll header back to on coming midfield rush
- All Midfielders stop anyone getting pass/ through the walls of Gondor
- They shall not pass

[red g]

Mata Gerrard and Suarez behind Carroll that would be a defenders worst nightmare.......Remembering watching that clip on bbc2 on how clever Mata is at taking defenders out of the game with intelligent running, that would love them 3 to run amok

Should be easy to beat that midfield it has Poulsen in it

I'd also like to see us turning up to matches in this formation.

Well, for it to work then a LB would have to be a priority as I don't think we could make-do with what we have as you suggested you'd accept before. We'd definitely need some natural width on that side and we can’t be relying on Aurelio. I also don’t see how it would benefit Carroll in that set-up and he could be a real weak link. And I also worry that it would become too congested in the middle.

It does look solid though and you’d imagine we’d be sound defensively, and that was the first thing I thought earlier, but it just doesn’t excite me.

The best thing about if for me is Suarez plating centrally with licence to roam as that would be my preferred position for him rather that out wide.

Who was central beside Adam BTW, Meireles/Aquilani?

[Baracus]

Yeah the weakness is in the middle of the wall. Maybe and the uruks-hai can http://www.tuckborough.net/images/helmsdeep-breach.jpg

I don't think you do need natural width both sides. Aurelio/Inusa/Robinson still look fine for me in that formation.
