Kenny listens to the Buddha.

Or maybe not.

3-5-2 / 5-3-2?

 

[the_khl]

Hmmm.

Pacheco would've been nice.

Kuyt needs to start scoring again.

[quote author=Hansern link=topic=43975.msg1276115#msg1276115 date=1296673386]
Confirmed team: Reina, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Agger, Kelly, Johnson, Lucas, Aurelio, Gerrard, Meireles, Kuyt.

Hmmmm not exactly what I wanted to see ... but let's see what they can do!

 

[Farkmaster]

Uh oh.

 

[Oncy]

Fuck that looks grim.
7 defenders.

 

[the_dude]

interesting team. kind of optimistic about it

3-5-2 / 5-3-2?
[/quote]

The first, I would think, with Kelly and Magic as wingbacks. First time we've played with those since Uncle Roy. Interesting.

 

[the_khl]

Johnson and Kelly and perhaps even Agger could be key-players tonight in that formation.

 

[Frogfish]

I said I wouldn't like this game unless Suarez started 🙁

6, but yeah thats strange. Suarez will hopefully come on. IF its 3-5-2, either Steive or Meireles is a striker tonight.

 

[Squiggles]

6 defenders...

I'd guess so

 

[the_khl]

I feel strangely optimistic about tonight.

Cooooooooooome on yooooooooooou reeeeeds!!

GET IN

 

[Buddha]

More of a 3-5-1-1 or 5-3-1-1 really.

We're giving them a bit too much respect?
Or maybe Kenny's thinking ahead to when Carroll is fit and trying out a system that will enable us to play 2 up front whilst keeping Stevie in the middle?

 

[Tal]

We don't need a formation. We are fluid. It's TOTAL football. Pass and Move. Forest, Palace [that's the 9-0, not the FAC semi defeat a few months later], this one's going to be mentioned in the same breath...

Imagine if Rafa had picked such a team.

 

[Farkmaster]

Hopefully it's:

Kelly -Kyrgiakos - Skrtl - Agger
Johnson - Meireles - Lucas - Aurelio
------------------gerrard---------------
-------kuyt------------------------------

It's still shit though, hopefully Suarez will get a good amount of time.

Hmmmm, so is it this?

-----------------------------Reina------------------------
Kelly------------Skrtel----------Kyrgiakos-----Agger
Johnson------Lucas-------Meireles-----------Aurelio
-----------------------Gerrard----------------------------
--------------------------Kuyt-----------------------------

Bit strange, but hey ho.

 

[Farkmaster]

I think it's more likely it's Meireles in a more advanced position, if he goes 442. I hope to fuck it's not a back three though.

Yep. I thought that with one of his lineups the other week though and it went well. Still, I guess we're going for fight and height. Sort of.

[doctor_mac]

Has to be a 3-5-2 ala Pompey away 2008-9.

 

[Squiggles]

I hope it's 4-4-2 too.

not a likely line up... as per the offal:-
Luis Suarez will have to come off the bench if he is to make his Liverpool debut against Stoke tonight. You can listen live online from 7.55pm GMT.

Dirk Kuyt starts up front, while Fabio Aurelio will play in central midfield. Jamie Carragher is back on the bench after a long injury lay-off with a dislocated shoulder.

The Liverpool team is: Reina, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Agger, Kelly, Johnson, Lucas, Aurelio, Gerrard, Meireles, Kuyt. Subs: Gulacsi, Carragher, Poulsen, Shelvey, Suarez, Maxi, Ngog

Thats what I started typing out as my formation, but requires Aurelio at DM, and where would Kelly and Johnson play? Wing backs?. Also Stevie up front, who will keep coming back to make it a very confused 3-6-1

Edit: And thats why I started with a 3-5-2, as the official names Aurelio in CM. Balls, thats a strange one!

 

[robinhood]

Most likely Farky's team. Maybe not exactly a 4411
