Head Scratcher
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2021 2:59 pm
What would be your best chosen staring eleven if all of the positions had to be of a different nationality ?
I've been mulling this over for a while now and it's still a head scratcher.
Assume your choices are playing at the top of their game.
Pick any formation you want , but keep it realistic ( i.e. systems we've regularly used)
In my selections I always struggle to nail down a right back , Phil Neal would be my first choice but then Stevie G wouldn't have a place in the team
Do I pick Torres up front ? but that would mean there's no place for Alonso in midfield
OK, for what it's worth here's my LFC "International Eleven"
GK. Alisson (Brazil)
RB Babbel (Germany)
CB Hyppia (Finland)
CB Van Dijk (Holland
LB Riise (Norway)
DM Masherano (Argentina)
CM Gerrard (England)
CM Alonso (Spain)
AM Dalglish (Scotland)
ST Suarez (Uraguay)
ST Rush (Wales)
I'm still not happy about my RB pick (no disrespect to Babbel) but felt I had little other choices if I didn't swap out some of my first choice picks.
What do you guys think ?
