KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Team against Arsenal......

Got to be Kuyt instead of Henderson. Not Aqua, because Kuyt is great at tracking back and defending. Aqua, not so much. Plus, if we're gonna play Aqua, it should be to replace Carroll or Adam.

Im worried about Suarez. I mentioned last week that he should not be involved because he is still tired. I would of liked it if he was involved this week rather then the first but since he has started I would leave him out of the team.

Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Jose
Maxi Adam Lucas Downing
Kuyt Carroll

If things aren't working well until the 60min I think Kenny should then bring Suarez in for either Maxi or Carroll. He should also bring Aqua/Merieles in to play in the centre in place of Lucas if we are drawing or falling behind.

i agree with snakeye i dont like suarez playing so much so quickly, can only end one way surely, with us again having our key player out injured. id go with 433 i dont think lucas and adam have enough to dominate the game so i think we should have an extra body in there. first 10/15 mins make sure we get the ball down and play take the game away from arsenal it wont take a lot for the arsenal fans to start getting on the players backs. and then we can get at their awful defence. no point going there and just trading attacks from the first minute, plays right into their hands.

kelly carra agger enrique

henderson/raul lucas adam

kuyt carroll downing

id prefer henderson because he'll work harder and put himself about a bit more than meireles.

meireles instead of lucas or adam in the centre okay but not on the right wing where he wont do nothing all game

Would go with that team also, but not that formation, I think House is right about Carroll not being great on his own up front, so I'd go with 442, with suarez and Carroll up front and Kuyt at CR instead of Henderson. If we play to our potential we will take all 3 points on this occasion...bit of history in the making I think!

if we are going to leave out suarez then that team looks good to me. i would have hendo over raul

that's the team i'd pick - and it should be well capable of getting at least 1pt from at a very understrength arsenal team - a result i'd be happy with given our recent difficulties there

I might sound cocky but we should pick up 3 points nothing less. They are thin with injuries and bans. We need to take them out.

I suspect the idea behind House's team is relying on the full backs and kuyt and downing for width - with Henderson/Raul, Lucas and Adam making up a central midfield trio

I don't understand why he'd chose to leave our best player out and i prefer the thread poster's line-up in regards to line up and the personnel deployed

i stated very clearly why i didnt have suarez playing. he needs a real rest imo. although i dont like carroll up front on his own i think it would be the best thing against arsenal because with 3 CMs we could dominate midfield and with arsenal if you dominate the midfield the chances create themselves because they just cant defend, they dont know how to.

obviously i am looking in from the outside, maybe suarez is perfectly rested and fully fit, unlikely but maybe he is and if so then great play him every week but i dont think he should be starting, and id bet brukner and the rest of the medical staff would agree with me
