[franklyfrank]

Don't really have a clue what the team should be or will be.

Whatever the team/formation and shit, i just want the lads to be let lose and really go for it.

Let's just go all out and batter them. If we lose possesion revert to a 442 with agger covering left back and kuyt dropping back to right midfield.

Never happen though.

Nope.

Zero width out of the left-side. Kinda what happened at St Andrews on Sunday, only worse actually.

We make the pitch narrow enough as it is with the way we play, why restrict things even further?

 

[LarryHagman]

I think Lucas and Masch will play. Benitez will be petrified of conceding an away goal.

I think no matter who he plays we'll concede an away goal. I still think we can knock 3 past them though.

 

[Ryan]

Here's a possibility...

Gerrard wide left of a midfield four, Aquilani in the hole.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

We will win 4-0. I might even have a pound on it.

And Gerrard said it was one of the worst games of his career. I wouldn't be against it, though.

I don't think Aurelio will feature. I think it'll more than likely be Agger at left back with Kygriakos coming in at the centre. I'm not particularly confident, and I'm extremely depressed about anything to do with us at the moment. I just want the season to be over.

How many times has Agger played left-back for us?

[/quote]

A couple of times a few years ago when he first joined. He's our only left footed defender who's available, I could see him playing there.

 

[Oncy]

Reina
Carragher
Zorba
Agger
Johnson

Lucas
Mascherano

Yossi
Gerrard
Kuyt

Torres.

63mins - Yossi off for El Zhar
72mins - Torres for N'gog
83mins - Kuyt for Aquilani.

 

[Ryan]

Really? I don't recall that happening too much.

I'd be surprised if it's not Carra at left-back.

 

[spider-Neil]

I'd go with mash and aqua in the middle but no way is rafa going to do that, it will be lucas and mash which will put pressure on the attacking players to create something because there will be zero creativity from them, which is fair enough it isn't their job.
I wish rafa would show some bal as we are the home team and we're a goal down

Yep, it may have only happened once or twice, but shows it could be a thought in Rafa's mind. Birmingham/Fulham at home 3 or 4 seasons ago springs to mind for some reason.

Yeah obviously, Carragher is a good option there, but just wondering if he'd fancy playing there given the fact he might not think he has the legs for full back too much anymore and that he hasn't played left back since the Treble season.

 

[Halmeister]

I tried googling 'Agger at Left Back for Liverpool' because it was doing my head in thinking who it was against. I couldn't find it, but I did find this quote. It's from an article about Agger talking about Hyypia leaving...

...And if he fails to nail down a role in central defence, he has offered to solve Rafael Benitez's left-back problems.


Agger said: "I played at left-back before. It would maybe take me some time to get used to the role again but I could do it.''

 

[Ryan]

Fair enough mate, I just can't see it happening.

Who the fuck knows though. Rafa played Le Tallec in the hole against Juvenuts for the love of God.

Haha yeah that came out of nowhere that!

Yeh, I'm not sure what he was going to do with the team either. I think he will have come up with something anyway, and as long as we win I don't really mind what it is.

 

[Ryan]

Seems to be a theme in this thread that if we turn up, get at them, get the crowd behind us, etc... That we'll win easily.

Where's that come from?

Benfica are a good side folks. And should have put 3 or 4 past us last week. This is not going to be easy in the slightest.

 

[Halmeister]

I'm on a bit of a roll with the predictions recently, got the last 2 right, Birmingham 1-1 and Benfica 2-1.

I'mmm going to say Liverpool 0-2 Benfica.

Put money on it folks!

 

[Ryan]

Didn't you say earlier that we would win?

 

[Halmeister]

Nope. I said I hope he has an idea for left back, but I don't know/mind what it is as long as we win.

I don't think we will.

 

[Ryan]

Oh, sorry.

 

[Halmeister]

You really should pack in the skim reading!

 

[DHSC]

Reina

Johnson
Kyrgiakos
Agger
Carragher

Lucas
Mascherano

Kuyt
Gerrard
Yossi

Torres

Team kinda picks itself I guess. It could be Carra at RB and Johnson at LB too.

 

[robinhood]

-----------Torres
-Babel Aquilani Benayoun
-----Gerrard Mascher
Insua Agger Carra Johnson
------------Reina

Alternatively Maxi for Benayoun, and Aurelio (if fit) or Insua

I'd prefer a 433 with the same personnel, but that won't happen.
