Your ideal line up

[Zippy]

when everyone is fit.

 

Now the transfer window is shut and we know where we stand squad wise what would be your line up if you were manager?

 

Mine would be:

 

 

Downing Suarez Bellamy

 

Gerrard

 

Adam Lucas

 

 

Enrique Agger Carragher Johnson

 

Reina

 

(Please ignore the wierd formatting that suggests I want Reina to play directly behind the left back!)

 

 

 

I feel that team would be really hard to defend against - pace, skill determination and fluidity.

-------------Pepe----------

Johnson--Carra--Agger--Enrique

----------Lucas--Adam--------

Suarez--------Gerrard----Downing

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

 

three behind Carroll all interchangable and I expect the whole squad to get a lot of game time with Kenny choosing the right players for the right match, I haven't seen Coates play though so he could be in

[Jonny83]

Basically the same as yours* but maybe with Dirk in for Bellamy, His weaknesses are well documented but he seems to bring the best out of Luis and any pens we get are effectively guaranteed goals while he's on the pitch. He gets his fair share from open play too.

 

Was a bit unsure over RB but I'd also give it to Johnson over Kelly. Just.

 

* EDIT: by "yours" I mean the OP, was beaten to first reply and I'm too lazy (I know..) to quote.

Fit and in form (and without having seen Coates play):

 

Pepe

 

Kelly Carra Agger Enrique

 

Lucas Adam

 

Gerrard Suarez Downing

 

Carroll

[stringvest]

Mine would be:

 

 

Downing Suarez Maxi

 

Gerrard

 

Adam Lucas

 

 

Enrique Agger Carragher Johnson

 

Reina

 

or

 

Carroll Suarez

Downing Adam Gerrard Maxi

Enrique Agger Carragher Johnnson

Reina

[Zippy]

Loving the fact that most of us have gone for different line ups and they all look strong (just having different strengths and weaknesses).

[ngogswilly]

Fit and in form (and without having seen Coates play):

 

Pepe

 

Kelly Carra Agger Enrique

 

Lucas Adam

 

Gerrard Suarez Downing

 

Carroll

 

I'd go for that too. Johnson might have a case for Right Back ahead of Kelly but the onus should really be on him to reclaim his spot.

 

Also, I'd persist with Carroll for now but if we continue to struggle with him upfront Dirk is worth his place alongside Suarez.

Reina

I read through each team with a huge smile. Isnt is brilliant?? We now have depth. We now have OPTIONS!!! All those teams look very fluid and can adapt to different formations. Kenny is putting together something special. Carry on Kenny..

 

my 11 Reina

Kelly Carra Agger Enrique

 

Lucas Adam

 

Hendo Gerrard Downing

 

Suarez

[G Richards]

Reina

Johnson Carra Agger Enrique

Lucas Adam

Gerrard Suarez Downing

Carroll

 

I think there are a few players who could come in without a discernible drop in quality, and that gives me great hope for the season.

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

Johnson - Agger - Skrtel/Coates - Enrique

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

-------- Henderson - Adam ------------

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

[Block109'er]

Fit and in form (and without having seen Coates play):

 

Pepe

 

Kelly Carra Agger Enrique

 

Lucas Adam

 

Gerrard Suarez Downing

 

Carroll

 

Yeah I'll go with this for now.

 

Carroll gets the benefit of the doubt for now but he has to improve.

 

I never want to see GJ back in our team (in the nicest possibly way by the virtue that I hope Kelly keeps him out.)
