It could be a 4-4-1-1

Reina

Kelly Soto Skrtel Agger

Johnson Lucas Gerrard Fabio

Meireles

Kuyt

That was my thought too. I prefer this.

they dont have delap but i think some of them can still throw it long

Festy · « **Reply #1363 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:31:22 pm »

Stoke knows only one way to score - HEADERS. Kenny has nullified their only goal threat by playing 3 CBs at the back. Rest of the team can enjoy the freedom and they will. This is actually an attacking team and formation.

Will Stoke get a fine then? They've got their better players on the bench.

Citizen Kane · « **Reply #1365 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:31:30 pm »

With Kelly, Kygriakos, Agger and Skrtel playing we are not lacking height at the back, something that could prove key. Meireles and Gerrard could dominate today, I think we will dominate the midfield with those two and Lucas holding. Diao, Whitehead and Marc Wilson are not the quickest centre mids in the world, thats for sure, so there could be an opportunity for bursting runs from deep. Looking forward to seeing Johnson on the wing today as well.

I wouldn't call this a 5-3-2, I think we will definitely end up with more of a 3-5-2, especially with Stokes tendency to defend deep due to their lack of pace at the back.

Irritated that Pacheco isn't in the squad. Don't get what he has to do to get a few minutes game time.

ThepepeReina · « **Reply #1367 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:32:40 pm »

Radio city reakon 4-4-1-1 with agger at left back and jono on the wing. would be pretty pleased with that.

My dad's giving Kenny an absolute hammering for that team. "Typical Kenny shite defensive team. Fucking disgrace!"

The arl fella remembers Kenny the first time around, which I don't, but he's the first Red I've heard come out that strongly against Kenny.

Sorry but I think you're Dad is getting a bit senile if he thinks Dalglish's teams were defensive. They were always solid at the back but that's a good thing.

I hope we get the same result as when we went three at the back vs Newcastle a couple of years ago.

Those were the days. Won't even mind if Stevie beats up another DJ afterwards if we win like that

El Capitán Reina · « **Reply #1373 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:34:21 pm »

You unlock this door with the key of strange formations. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of three full backs, a dimension of Aurelio in the center of midfield, a dimension of Kuyt up front on his own. You're moving into a formation of both defence and attack, of wing-backs and one up front; you've just crossed over into

...the Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish Zone.

Mighty_Red · « **Reply #1374 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:34:25 pm »

hell of a lot of defenders in that team, hope aurelio n johnson can provide the width. Hope the lads can prove there is still a lot to come from this team. COMON U REDMEN!!!

Be better in training maybe. I know we all want to see Dani coming through, but personally i trust the judgment of someone who was the acadamy ambassador for 18 months before taking on the managerial postiion as to who of the young lads and when they should be playing. Don't you?

WEIRDOG · « **Reply #1376 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:34:42 pm »

If we cant beat a team with Salif Diao in then we need to get relegated. Shockingly bad footballer.

Cant get my head around the team selection and have no idea what formation is. But I trust the boss.

YNWA Redmen. Get us 3 points

Brentieke · « **Reply #1377 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:34:54 pm »

Anyways, sorry for the negativity people, was just taken completely aback by that teamsheet. Expected us to go with a more positive outlook at home against Stoke.

Anyways, hope it works out for Kenny. Good thing is, we've got lots of options on the bench. Lose or draw with 30 minutes left and he can easilly bring on Maxi, Ngog and Suarez for 3 defensive players to give us fresh impetus.

You admit yourself you did it under Hodgson. I stand by what I have said, just allow others to express an opinion without jumping on them because it's not what everyone else is saying.

You can stand by what you said and called me on all you like, but you'd be 100% wrong and I've got a fair few PM's from people thanking me for arguing on here AGAINST the whingers.
You're also utterly wrong if you think I did it under Hodsgson all the time, in fact, so wrong I can't be arsed even arguing with you.

Enjoy the game? I ALWAYS do unlike some mate.

I think he sees it as his role on here or something. All he seems to do, is preach and tell others how they behave. Wouldn't be too bad if he wasn;t such a hypocrite as he;ll be the first one kicking and screaming when he sees something he doesn''t agree with.

I don't mind the team, but its the worrying about the opposition that I am not really keen on. Playing Kyrigakos just to combat Stoke isn't something we should be doing in my opinion, more letting them worry about us.

We will win though.

thankfully you are not our manager.

it's a fantastic lineup btw. Soto to counter high balls, and the fullbacks to provide width when attacking, and clip the wings when defending.
too early to start with suarez against rough opposition. it will be cultural shock.

this shows that kenny can change the team's formation and tactics according to the opposition, not just sticking to only 1 defensive 442 formation (you know who i'm referring to).

Black Bull Nova · « **Reply #1381 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:35:27 pm »

Many of you will not remember the late 80's, it was never really clear whether there was a set formation, just a lot of players supporting each other, especially in the last third, expect mobility and positional flexibility.

For me Kuyt drops back wayyyy too much when he's the lone striker but ive got faith in the team we've put out

Six defenders? why the negetivity? we are at home, why are we scared of stoke! They are gonna seeing this line up, gonna gee them right up. We look like we are setup not to loose.

love that selection. nothing like a starting line-up that leads to ten pages of formation guesses.

like having Rafa back

bellyred · « **Reply #1391 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:37:28 pm »

I like the thought of Johnson playing at RM/RW but why play Aurelio at LM/LW

? Rather played in-form Maxi instead !!

Says the most miserable member on here who only ever pops up with smarmy asides to other members. Including the utterly pointless one to me the other day that had no actual point other than trying to be clever and failing.

Brilliant mate. Couldn't be more hypocritical if you tried. Don't like my posts, ignore me. It's easy.

Its not about the players, its about the mentality. Even with the number of "defenders" we can have an attacking mentality which will see us win.

Everything seems to suggest that Dani is doing what he needs to do. When he plays for the reserves he performs well and giving him 10-20 mins against teams like Stoke can only help his development.

Zelnaga · « **Reply #1397 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:38:30 pm »

Is Johnson playing Wing then? or we playing 5 at the back?

Looking at Suarez walking on the pitch on ssn and looks lad the lad is reeally really concentrated and focused.

SamiSamiHyypia · « **Reply #1399 on:** February 2, 2011, 07:38:38 pm »

Just seen this...

Quote

Dirk Kuyt starts up front, while Fabio Aurelio will play in central midfield. Jamie Carragher is back on the bench after a long injury lay-off with a dislocated shoulder.

Well he's definitely got the technique, maybe Kenny is going ahead witht eh plan they've been training for all week and Adam would have been in the centre in Aurelio's place.
