What Is Your Preferred First XI?

[Gibbo]

Seen a few people discussing who should be playing defence/the formation not helping the defenders out/who should we play up top so thought I'd make a thread to see what people think the first XI should be(I'm pretty sure we're finished in the window now, besides selling - but you never know!) this thread also gives us a chance to show off some of our top top formatting skills.

I'd go for;

--------------Mignolet
Manquillo Lovren Sahko Moreno
--------Gerrard - Henderson
Sterling -------------------- Lallana
---------Sturridge Balotelli

I think, despite them both being left footers Lovren and Sahko would work together, and we have to play two up top, with one up yesterday we lacked attacking power, and as soon as Lambert came on we had someone to fill the gaps left by Sturridge when he goes walkies to get the ball.

Edit; ****ing for got Lallana plays for us, had a nightmare here, he replaces Markovic left side

No Gibbo no!

Gerrard never ever ever in a 2!

[Red_Polo]

Mignolet
Manquillo Lovren Sakho Moreno
Hendo Gerrard Lallana
Sterling
Sturridge Balotelli

[Gibbo]

It's not a flat two, probably should have explained that more

I did do arrows() but on the phone it's a nightmare. Stevie will drop back like he's doing and Hendo will play slightly further forward. I was just getting frustrated with highlighting on my phone

Nice formatting

Lovren is right footed, but mine would be:

-----------Mignolet
Manquillo Lovren Sahko Moreno

-----------Gerrard
--- Henderson-----Lallana

----------Sterling
------Sturridge Balotelli

[Fierce]

Damn you Polo. Nice and clean too. I appreciate the cheeky align centre move, impressive stuff. A little lazy though, if you'll permit the observation

really hard to say so early with quite a few still to come in

personally i'd suspect or at least would like to think, our 'best' XI would be

------------------mignolet------------------

flann---------lovren-------sakho--------moreno

------henderson----gerrard---lallana------

Sterling-----------Sturridge------Balotelli



front three swapping and rotating positions, the two full backs giving us width.

It was on Tapatalk, ok

----------Markovic-------------Coutinho----------------Sterling

[BobTheCharmer]

Its amazing how many people rate our new right back based on a friendly against Dortmund and a home game against the mighty Saints. He looks promising yes, but fitness prevailing Flanno did more than enough last year to get in the side on merit.

[Red_Polo]

You don't have to rate him to want him in your preferred XI. You just have to be prepared to give him a chance to see if he is better or not.
