We did quite well that season. It's not entirely dissimilar to how we are set up now except we have Kuyt and Babel tucked in a bit more.

I can remember us playing a 4-2-3-1 formation & beating Arsenal 2-1 at Anfield when Mellor got the winner. I thought we were excellent that day and the formation worked a treat with Hamann and Alonso playing as holding midfielders, which released Gerrard to bomb forward and support Mellor with Pongolle and Kewell providing the width.
