    Alonso is showing much Better Form than Earlier in the Season

    And Pennant is starting to look like he could do decent job on the Right side

      Abso-toot-ly. Alonso is the most dropable player in the squad at the moment for me.

      Gerrard must stay in the middle. There's no debate.

        Alonso was great last season so that is nothing new.

        Agree on Pennant tho' think he will be used as much when SG is rested. Also think we will see more 4231 with Stevie playing in a free role.

          There is no debate, for me Gerrard should always play in the middle.

          But....

          There would be certain occasions where playing him wide right for tactical reasons would be benificial to the team. One example would be Barcelona away (injuries permitting of course). Would you rather have Garcia or Pennant supporting Finnan in stopping Ronaldinho or Gerrard?

            Alonso is a better central midfielder than Gerrard and we need a player like Sissoko is our best ball winner.

            Gerrard is good when he plays as a central midfielder in the attacking half of the pitch. If Gerrard plays in the centre with just one of Alonso or Sissoko then we won't be able to use his attacking skills as much as would do with Alonso AND Sissoko playing.

            Alonso and Sissoko means a better and more free Gerrard.

            You can't count our latest games as any real tests. When we play away against Blackburn and Tottenham then we will be able to see if Gerrard and Alonso can play together against tough and difficult teams.
            Just believe and you never know what will happen.

            According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

                Finnan Carra Agger Riise
                Gerrard Alonso Sissoko
                Kuyt Bellamy Kewell

                or

                ---Carra Sami Agger---
                ------Momo Xabi------
                Pennant Gerrard Kewell
                -----Kuyt Bellamy-----

                And it'd be nice to get two players to replace Sami and Pennant. Woodgate and Kaka (or more realisticly Giles Barnes)?

                  i think a good formation that we have been using is 3-5-1 with finnan/riise as wingbacks. we could have three cm like this:

                  ------------------reina-----------------

                  -------carra------hyypia-----agger-------

                  finnan------------momo---------------riise

                  -------------alonso----gerrard------------

                    Many people on here seem to think that Alves is a right winger. Well, he's an attacking right back. Sevilla play with Alves and Navas on the right. On Sevilla's official site, he's listed as a defender. Do we want a defender on the wing? I guess Rafa would use him insteed of Finnan or as a wing/back in a 3-5-2 system, but not as a winger in a 4-4-2 system.

                      SG should stay in the centre and Momo should be used when and if a/ we play 3-5-2 and b/ rotation of SG/Alonso. Momo is a 'disruptor'. He breaks down play like no other player I've seen. However his shooting and passing beyond 10yrds are woeful. Yet he is young and ours. In time he could become the complete central midfielder. At this present time Liverpool's future in CM rests with Alonso and SG who are both returning to their best form.

                        I like this formation, but...
                        We dont have good enough wing/backs. To make this formation work, you need good attacking wing/back like Alves. Finnan is a great right back but doesnt fit in this formation imo.

                          Well, Momo is almost fit again and the big question is whether Rafa will keep Gerrard at CM or move him out wide again. For most people there might be pro's and con's. Not for me though.

                          Momo has managed two shots on goal and zero assists/goals so far this season. When we consider that he actually plays further upfield than Alonso when they partner up, I think that's beyond hilarious. Look at what Gerrard gives us from the CM position. How can anybody suggest that Momo/Alonso would be better?! 6 games and 4 goals since he reclaimed what should never have been taken from him.

                          In my view I think Rafa's decision will define the season. I see Liverpool as a static defensive side with Momo and Alonso at CM. Furthermore the ramifications of Gerrard being moved to to RM on a psychological level is unmapped territory.

                          I sincerely hope that Rafa will keep Gerrard at CM and together with Alonso and use Momo as a sub. It's how it should be. He's 21 and can become an asset over time. He is not Viera. He is not a great footballer. He doesn't compliment Alonso. He is too wasteful. He makes too many brainless runs. He doesn't get in the box enough. He doesn't have great vision at CM. He's even instrumental in Alonso dropping so deep that he completely disappears on the final 1/3.

                          I see Momo as the most overrated player in the entire squad, considering that he plays in such a vital position and what he has actually accomplished there. 56 games. Zero goals. One assist.

                          If Rafa opts to move Gerrard out wide again, I think that Momo is the biggest mistake so far during Rafa's tenure.

                          The defense rests!

                            The defense should rest. In fact the defense should take some aspirin and have a bloody long lie down as it is clearly a little giddy.

                              There is no fecking S in defence. Why do people insist on spelling it with an S.
