Our best XI this season.

[Modo]

With everyone fit, Aquilani, Degen and the rest of the outcasts gone.
What is our best XI?
No tactics, no balance or any other bull.

Pick our best players in what you think is our best formation.
---------------------

My line up:

Reina

Johnson Carra Agger Enrique

Lucas Gerrard

Meireles
Kuyt Downing
Suarez

Subs: Doni, Coates, Kelly, Adam, Henderson, Maxi, Carroll
------------------------

Looking at that line up just confirms that we actually do have an XI that is strong enough to win the premiership. (Don't get excited...)

[/quote]Yeah i think thats it for me too. If Kuyt was off form id play Maxi but the rest of the side totally picks itself.

 

[Fabio]

Agree oncy, but id play kelly instead of johnson

Kelly ---- Carragher --- Agger --- Enrique

-------- Lucas ---- Gerrard ---- Adam

--- Kuyt ------------------------------ Downing

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

A lot will depend on Gerrard's role when he comes back in...whether he's capable of bombing forward and getting goals like he used to? or he plays in a more withdrawn/discipined fashion...if it's the latter then perhaps a Meireles or Maxi is needed to give us that bit of craft in the midfield.

Grand. I don't fucking care who will argue with the line-up above.

I *think* I share the same issue with Ryan here.

There is no such thing as a best 11. Not now, not in any team, not in the fucking wide world of football. It's absolutely fucking redundant.

Oh come on Ryan. I get it on some level, but anyone would think it's the thickest idea in the world given the way you go on about it. It's not.

Mourinho often picked his 'best eleven' consistently claiming most of the side were 'untouchables'.

If Barca have everyone fit, you can pretty much name the side they're going to put out... and again, Mourinho did just that.

 

[singlerider]

I'm kinda surprised at how many people don't rate Ming

 

[spider-Neil]

it's a squad game so a 'first 11' is redundant but definately there are members of the squad that will feature more often than not.

Me too.

 

[LarryHagman]

Coates has really earned that place on the bench this season. I would have had me up front though.

What a load of old shit. The majority of football fans would have some idea as to what 11 they'd go for if every player was fit and well. Not a big deal.

 

[Mystic]

This is a more interesting point.


GK: Pepe/Doni

RB: Kelly/Johnson
CB: Carra/Coates
CB: Agger/Srktel
LB: Enrique/Aurelio

CM: Lucas/Adam
CM: Gerrard/Spearing

RW: Kuyt/Henderson
AM: Meireles/Gerrard
LW: Downing/Maxi

ST: Suarez/Carroll


We have two very strong players for each position (I've used Gerrard twice, but there is more than enough spare in the attacking midfielder section) We've not had this for a very long time!
