I hope that performance in the CC has moved him up the pecking order. always rated him and was sad when he was moved on the first time.

He's not talking about other players. He's talking about Bellamy.

I think a front two of Bellamy and Suarez will cause most defences a big problem to handle with Downing and kuyt cutting in from the flanks to add attacking threat .

I think it will be Adam, lucas, downing and gerrard in midfield

I've advocated playing stevie on the right too, but all I can now see happening is him dropping inside to cover those two, thus negating our width.
I've a sneaking suspicion gerrard will play alongside Lucas, slightly deeper than we've previously seen him, with either Suarez or Bellamy in the role he's become used to playing.

We simply can't afford to play Stevie on the right.
It's amazing how over the course of 3 seasons you can see the decrease n quality in the middle of the park so evidently .
We won't finish in the top four without a fully fit gerrard in the middle of the pitch.
The combination of Lucas, spearing and Adam just isn't cutting it, id like to seer Hendo play in a more central position as he reads the game quite well, can move and kick the ball well enough

he wouldn't be playing on the right, which puts pressure on the right fullback to get forwards to offer width and defend with little protection but you would be strong through the middle.

I actually think Stevie on the right would be a good move. Although it may not be his preferred position he is quite superb in that role and scored a hatful of goals from there. If we had Stevie + Johnson/Kelly then the right wing would become a major influence on our attack (with Downing/Enrique on the left we would be stretching teams all over the pitch - taking pressure off the centre. I just can't imagine Hendo was bought for the RM slot and think that maybe he has just been filling in there until SG returns (or we buy a RW in January and Hendo was actually bought to apprentice SG). Lucas + Hendo/Adam in the centre with those LM/RM/RB/LB slots filled would be potent IMO. We could always move him back inside and put Kuyt there for matches against the likes of Chelsea or the Scum.

Are you sure you're not on acid when you wrote that? Fucking hell.
Gerrard's pace alone is enough to warrant him playing at right wing with Adam and Lucas in the middle. We need someone who is brave enough to beat fullback and Gerrard can do just that.
Henderson can sit more centrally on the bench.

Wasn't Ming only really good in the second half of last season?
[/quote]
Not even that really.
he had about 10 good games.
[/quote]
He is a solid player and for a run of like 5 games, was in fantastic goal scoring form. I think he had a good season, and was very instrumental in our good play.
Because the middle of the park is a weakness currently, we are propping him up to a level which I don't believe he reached with Liverpool (or Porto for that matter).
[/quote]
So a good season is being a solid player, scores a few goals, plays well in 5-10 matches? Well, that means Carroll, Henderson and Adam can still have a good season with 30+ games still to play?
[/quote]
He does a lot of small things well - creates room, makes good runs etc (things that we don't see on MOTD - we is me too - or in the stat sheet). He was solid, and as I said, as we seem very weak currently in the middle, we are 'missing' meirless. Once Gerrard is fit and running, it will be fine.
[/quote]
We're not missing Meireles. Meireles has nothing special. We only be missing special players. Gerrard is the one that we missed most but having Gerrard in the team with the two average and sometimes decent player in Lucas and Adam wouldn't change much.

Did you forget your train of thought?
