Our strongest starting XI

[crisps]

nicked the idea from rawk - quite interesting too see what everyone thinks although I'm quite glad some of them aren't the liverpool manager!

 

what would you say our strongest starting eleven is?

 

 

------------------Reina----------------

Arbeloa---Carragher--Agger--Aurelio

-----------Masherano--------------

-----------------------Alonso----------

----Benayoun---Gerrard---Babel----

----------------Torres-----------------

I don't know, who are we playing and how do they set up? What competition is this?

Finnan carra agger arbeloa

 

benni stevie G alonso kewell

Crouch Torres

 

but like the lad says it depends on who we re playing

We're not concerned about the other team as we kick their ass in the match.

play the kids then if it's a forgone

[Guest Ant]

I don't think we have a strongest 11, our players have never been given the chance to establish themselves in a said position.

 

That being said.

 

Reina

 

Arbeloa Carra Agger Riise

 

Gerrard Javier Alonso Babel

 

Torres Kuyt.

 

But even then I'm not convinced, Benayoun, Crouch, Kewell all can claim a place.

kuyts a bit rubbish tho to be fair

neither kuyt nor crouch are sufficiently consistant and i dont believe voronin has had enough time on the pitch with a decent partner, though this could be for private reasons rafa knows from training.

 

babel is ace, really ace, but as yet he isnt strong or intelligent enough to get past players from the start and needs his pace when the opposing teams defence is tired. it'll come, but as yet he isn't ready. the good thing is he's scoring which will do his confidence the world of good going forward.

 

benny's awesome but against the "bigger boys mrs patterson" can be pushed off the ball too easy.

 

love arbeloa but for me, regardless of the superfans opinion, riise has the better experience and can handle the big games so much better.

 

kewells still getting his fitness after a long time out and he at times looks very off the pace.

 

pennants great but i'd rather have the creativity of mach, alonso and gerrard on the pitch than sacrifice any of them for his presence.

 

fwiw the rest are squad players imo.

[slapnuts]

voronins rubbish too.

 

I would like to see babel and torres up top

If crouch had any kind of consistency, he'd be in there for me with torres. I have a feeling Babel would be better than either if given a run up front.

Come on, he makes the squad surely? On second assessment, perhaps I have Aurelio in the CL squad instead.

[Coyler]

Kuyt and Torres are the best available pair up front by a mile. Everybody else is being picked on the assumption that they'll be performing to something close to their best form (nobody's including "Torres-having-one-of-his-nightmares" in their team) and with that proviso Kuyt is a shoo-in.

[Ben 23]

People who's teams have included both Riise and Kuyt, show just how far we are from the top 3.

No they don't. But they are still far better than Riise and f***ing Kuyt and they aren't first choice at there teams.
