we can do this with a draw or maybe a winning goal on the counter attack, the key is to flood the midfield to pin back the supply to monaco's attacking 3

This is going to be a tough one.
My hope is we can nick it 0-1, but realistically i see a 0-0 or 1-1.

does no-one see the merit in playing Biscan in a 3 centre mid thing with Gerrard and Alonso? you could still have Hamann in behind Gerrard and Alonso, with Garcia roaming around just behind Mellor the opposite sided fullback could support when Garcia is on the other flank.

That formation looks a bit narrow to me - to easy to get around the back of midfield, especially if Risse goes bombing up the left. I would like to see a 4-4-2 with kewell playing deep off Pongolle or Mellor.

Monaco are in a poor run of form and haven't won for 8 games in the league so we have nothing to fear.
The team I would like to see is
Kirkland
Finnan Carragher Hyypia Riise
Hamann Alonso
Garcia Gerrard Kewell
Mellor
Finnan and Riise are both good going forward and can provide width with Hamann and Alonso to sit and protect then Gerrard can join in the attack at every chance he gets.

Jim its a bit unusual and wouldn't be my choice but I quite like your formation. Key is making sure Biscan stays advanced enough to stop Garcia and Mellor (big problem there but anyhow) getting too isolated. If that happens you end up playing a narrow 4-1-3-2, with the 2 redundant. In the main though mate its good I like it.

the thing is we dont really have wingers who get forward and put crosses in any way, and i dont think we need to be overly defensive as i dont think MOnaco are much of an attacking threat. (correct me if i'm wrong). and the thing i notced about Biscan is that he's good goin forward and and settin up moves. can sometimes leave the midfield bare when he does, but havin Gerrard,Alonso and Hamann counters this.
Yes it is an attacking formation, but i dont think it leaves us too exposed, as Biscan can easily pack the midfield and win balls as good (well maybe) as Gerrard when not in posession.
people get alarmed when they dont see wingers but you dont always need them when you've got passers like Gerrad and Alonso, Biscan who is driving, and Garcia is inventive.
