    Would like to see Maxi and Bellamy start too, (if he can manage it) a line up that will get at the bodges side rather than stand in front of them when they park the bus. If he's avaliable I wouldn't mind seeing GJ too.
    Spearing deserves a chance over Adam for his performance last night. He gives more cohesion and Lucas seems to like playing alongside him. Lucas is really stretched when partnered by Adam, it's no surprise that he's collected 5 yellows quicker than anyone else in the premier league. Adam is not sharing the defensive duties as much, probably because he's slightly lacking some mobility. I'm really liking Lucas holding with two central men in front of him. It fits our squad and Lucas is the best in the world in that position, IMO. However, Adam, Spearing and Lucas behind Gerrard, Suarez and Maxi/Bellamy could be equally potent. There's no reason that Spearing and Adam couldn't both play, both are reasonably attack minded and Lucas doesn't need another defensive midfielder alongside him

    Any combination up front of three of our forwards, as long as it includes Suarez and either both Bellamy & Maxi or at least one.

      No need for two defensive midfielders against Roy ****ing Hodgson's West Brom.

      --------------------Reina

      Kelly/Johnson---Skrtel----Agger-----Enrqiue

      --------------------Lucas

      ---------Hendo/Maxi-------Adam/Maxi

      ----Gerrard---------------------Suarez

      ---------------------Carroll

      Width from full backs & Gerrard, Suarez & Gerrard giving almost free roles, Carroll spearheading the attack & the midfield three to be made up of Lucas holding & two of Maxi/Adam/Hendo. I'd be tempted to go with Maxi & Hendo but that'd be harsh on Adam.

      Strange looking team on paper. But something I thought I'd like to see last night. That side could play West ****ing Brom off the park. Three points is a must, I don't care if it's a 1-0 win with beachball scoring the goal, just want three points.

        There's no need for a 2nd defensive midfielder alongside Lucas in any game, IMO. What's this illusion that Spearing is a defensive midfielder? Whenever I see him he always seems eager to get forward and always looks for an attacking pass

            Spearing is very much a holding player. He may try to get forward more then Lucas when the two play together but his main strength's lay in tackling, reading the game and positioning.

            No need for him & Lucas against West Brom. Two of Maxi, Hendo & Adam for me. These three can bring much more creativity & vision then Spearing.

            I'm desperate to see Hendo & Maxi play in a three man midfield, Lucas is our best dm, so he's the other, without question. Spearing for now stays as his capable back up.

            I think those two in midfield could shine. Their link up play, first touch, vision. Could excel them in that position. Plus playing in the middle could stop both from drifting in & out of games & neither has the ability to take a full back on, so it's not ideal playing both outwide at the same time.

              I think Henderson has a tendancy to lose concentration, he's still learning his game. He's been a decent option from the bench, injecting some energy towards the end of a game. I wouldn't be devastated to see your line-up in midfield it's just I think it lacks a bit of composure

                -------------------Reina--------------------
                Kelly------Carra--------Agger----Enrique

                ------------------Suarez-------------------

                I think this is going to be a pretty tough game, don't care how we win, but 3 points is a must. Anything other than the 3 points is a terrible result IMO.

                  It seems like Hodgson posts on this WBA forum:



                  2nd post on the thread:

                  I would love it if we got a draw with Liverpool.

                    I'd definitely play Jay at expense of Adam.

                    Spearing and Lucas have understanding between each other and work well together especially in defensive areas, which you cannot say for Lucas and Adam partnership.

                    Also would like to see a way for us to fit Maxi in starting 11.

                    He gives us the fluidity and links up very well with Suarez.

                    Bellamy too as he played just few minutes yesterday so he should be ready to start.

                      shouldn't this be called "wba albion build-up"?

                        I think this is an ideal game for Adam. Hodgson's teams never press so he'll have time and space.

                        I also think Downing has to play left as otherwise it will be two teams with more or less inside out wingers against each other and the middle of the park will be horribly clogged. Carroll should be benched to allow a forward who to drop back into midfield to play.

                        Personally I might put Maxi right side with Gerrard off Suarez.

                            I don't like Lucas and Adam partnership at all. They are not in sync, completely out of balance and get in each other way all the time.

                            I think if we play Lucas and Jay we can allow Stevie to roam forward freely without too much worries about defensive tasks and that will help us offensively.

                            I prefer Bellamy to Downing cause imo he and Suarez seems to be clicking much better than Downing and Luis atm.

                              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.

                                Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
