As of recent performances, my first team lineup including substitute bench (which would also be our lineup against Man City, provided we decide to risk Agger) would be:

                      Reina

Finnan  Carragher  Agger  Arbeloa

Benayoun  Alonso  Mascherano  Kewell
                  Gerrard
                  Torres

SUBS: Itandje, Riise, Lucas, Voronin, Babel.

Primary reason for employing a 4-4-1-1 is due to the ineffectiveness of our strikers apart from Torres. Gerrard playing in this role can roam freely without needing to worry about defending. Benayou and Kewell should at the moment be our first choice wingers.

At the current moment I would put Gerrard in Alonso's place and put Babel beside Torres.

Honestly, did you really need to open a thread about this ? .......... Football manager 2008 ?

What the hell is the problem with this thread? Isn't this the whole point of a football forum?

Its c.rap, no thought behind it, pointless. Why didnt you just post that in the Man.c thread.

Maybe you should actually read the comments I made before telling me that there is "no thought behind it" and that it is "pointless"

Still dont see how a couple of sentences and a line-up warranted a new thread, this could of gone in the Man.c thread.

I hate that formation , but if I was forced to play it I would maybe try Kewell behind Torres instead.

                    Reina

Finnan  Carragher  Agger  Arbeloa

Gerrard Alonso  Mascherano  Benayoun

                       Kewell
                          Torres

I always feel that we allow our striker to become too isolated when Gerrard plays behind a front striker. Its probably because I prefer 2 forwards supporting, making runs and creating space for each other.

If we played a more patient style of football with the pretty triangles and buildup of say Arsenal , I think the lone striker can work very well, but the way we play, it just doesn't suit our game.
I do think that Kewell has the intelligent game to combine well with Torres and create chances for him, the down side being that we have finally got a left winger again only to lose him, by playing him as support striker.

Alternatively you could play Babel on the left and then Kewell and Babel would be able to switch positions, giving the team both goal threat and balance.

PS just ignore Bamaga, I think he's got a headache and a hangover, or maybe hes still just love sick over Nanny

What about Benayoun behind Torres instead?

After all that has been a favored position for him, in that attacking midfield area, in the past..

I don't know mate, I have never seen Benayoun play that role. I am sure you are right and he can play there, but apart from about 10 mins in a preseason friendly match I can't remember seeing him there. Did he play that role for West Ham ?

He played a more attacking midfielder role for Maccabi Haifa and Racing de Santander

[HacksawJimDuggin]

Reina
Riise
Agger
Carra
Finnan
Kewell
Mascha
Alonso
Gerrard
Babel
Torres

[mart]

I'd go for:

                 Reina

Arbeloa   Carra   Agger  Riise

Gerrard  Alonso  Masch  Kewell

             Kuyt   Torres

Benayoun often ends up invisible when he is on the wing, and like it or not Gerrard plays well on the right wing.
