An old chestnut but hey it's Christmas. Have a go at your best ever Liverpool 11, plus seven subs (including one keeper) and manager...where everyone must have a different country of origin. So for example, you can't have Dalglish in the team and pick Shankly as manager. Here's mine...and I've limited myself to players I've seen live though you needed feel so restricted:

Grobbelaar (Zimbabwe)
Babbel (Germany)
Henchoz (Switzerland)
Hyypia (Finland)
Beglin (Ireland)
Johnston (South Africa)
Molby (Denmark)
Barnes (Jamaica)
Dalglish (Scotland)
Suarez (Uruguay)
Rush (Wales)

Subs:

Dudek (Poland)
Bjornebye (Norway)
Song (Cameroon)
Alonso (Spain)
Mascherano (Argentina)
Coutinho (Brazil)
Cisse (France)

Manager:

Paisley (England)

If my first choice defenders can last 90 minutes I defy any of you to pick a team to beat that one.

Houllier (manager - just b/c I can't have raf, or shanks, or bob)

Reina (Spain)

Paletta (Italy - I know I know, crap with us but a capped Italian defender!)
Mascherano (Argentina)
Coutinho (Brazil)
Titi Camara (Guinea)
Rush (Wales)
 
ALT's team is a little too creative - not enough finishing power.

It'd rip teams apart for fun but be lucky to escape with a 1-0 win on too many occasions. Lefty's team wouldn't create nearly as much but I reckon they'd win most games about 5-2.


Strangely, I reckon ALT's team would win a head to head match up. Nobody in Lefty's team to put his foot on the ball and control the game. Gerrard (at his best) and Didi would suffocate Molby and Dalglish. He needs to find a way to get Mascher - or at the least Alonso - on the pitch to provide the steel.
 
Good analysis Mr Wiz but obviously I can't agree. Molby is in there precisely to provide some midfield steel. He was a little more creative than Mascherano and very similar to Alonso...but just a tiny bit better.
 
Barnes, Dalglish, Suarez and Rush all in the same side...fuck me you'd have to score 10 to beat my 11.
