In less than 24 hours, it all begins again. Here's one last chance to Q some A's with a Friday 5.
1. 4-4-2 is almost certain to be our starting formation and lets face it, it's a classic. It works well, but with our squad and options anything is possible. What formations would you like to see Rafa experiment more with this season?
2. Torres, Benayoun and Babel are big money signings (relatively speaking) so what do you expect from them this season? What would you class as a successful campeign for each of them?
3. El Zhar impressed in pre-season, but can you see him, or any of the other reserves breaking into the team this season? If not, does this undermine our policy of bringing so many young players every year?
4. Imagine that it's the last day of the transfer window and Tom Hicks calls you up and says "We want you to make a bid for one high profile player before midnight." Who do you go for? Who do you think would make the biggest difference?
5. What are your predictions for the top 5 by the end of the season? Do you place Liverpool on top, a strong second, third again, scraping fourth or missing out on the CL all together?
Bonus: Looking over the fixture list, do you see any critical games or crucial periods? Are there any games that are must win, or all they all vital this year?
