I'll start, first of all I would drop drop Downing due to his miserable form and would call up Bellamy to take his place. My first choice defensive partnership would be Skrtel and Agger with Kelly on the right and Jose on the left. In midfield I would have Lucas, Adam with Bellamy on the left and Glen Johnson on the right. Ahead of them would be Stevie as an attacking mid and Luis as a striker.

So the line up would look something like this.

.................Reina.................

Kelly......Skrtel.....Agger....Enrique


............Lucas....Adam.............
G.Johnson......................Bellamy
................Gerrard...............


.................Suarez..............

Obviously due to Gerrads injury he would have to be replaced, So I would slot Suarez in there with Bellamy as a lone striker and would put Aurelio/Maxi Rodriguez on the left to fill Bellamy's spot. I think Maxi has been overlooked this season as he has looked solid in most of his appearances and seems to have an understanding with Luis.

What are your thoughts, what would you change?


I like the look of this. Johnson looks good going forward. If Kelly is fit, then him in RB with Johnson in RM is something that needs to be tested despite what the other managers thought.


I am only responsible for what I write. Not for what you understand.

Fair point

The unity amongst both fans and players is back – something that was missing at the end of rafa’s reign and throughout Roy Hodgson’s miserable spell at the club

I’ll grant you that Kenny definitely deserves plaudits for that

Not so long ago people were laughing at us whilst the Hicks and Gillet were in power, then when Hodgson took over. We were a luaghing stock in the footballing world. Kenny and Commolli have changed that.


I simply cannot agree with any of that

The squad Kenny has built so far doesn’t look capable of getting into the top 4 – so it takes a huge leap of imagination to say one of his achievements is ‘building a squad which will be able to fight at the very top of europe in years to come’

On what evidence doi you base such an outlandush and brash claim? The lame home draws against Norwich and Swansea?

With regards to Comoli, he’s been a failure wherever he’s gone and the early signs suggest exactly the same will be the case at LFC.

Who else would pay the inflated prices we paid for Carroll, Henderson and Downing than someone with a track record of getting it wrong. Remember £15m for David Bentley

Amongst who? The same blind faithers who tell us year after year that this will be our season. No one else seems to share that view – not Liverpool fans and certainly not the wider footballing world

Tottenham look the most likely team to get 4th spot and you’d even fancy Arsenal over us given that they’ve caught up with us already despite their horrendous start to the season

You can't paint this one - it's been a truly awful start to the season and those good results against Arsenal and Everton have counted for nothing as we've shot ourselves in the foot in subsequent games.

You can't 'spin' this one


Well, this is exactly what I am talking about... I agree with you that we don't have a squad of players who are ready to conquer the PL and europe at the moment, but unlike you, I don't think thatit was bad work by the manager that caused that. I don't think our squad is bad at all. I DO THINK, it is way to early to be calling for kenny to go, and to even expect us to be at the very top of the PL or Europe. With every big change their is a period of adjustment. It takes time. Apparently the only way some fans will be satisfied is if they get instant success. Such success is short lived. Man Utd didn't become succesful overnight either and look at the teams that did, the so called Big Spenders? When did Chelsea last win the PL? Such success is short lived.

Secondly, as far as your remarks regarding Comolli are concerned, I don't know where you get that from or what you base your statements on. You say he was a failure everywhere he went. Funny that, look at Modric, I believe he spotted him and took him to Tottenham, what about the other players he was responsible for uncovering...the likes of Gilberto, Woodgate, Gareth Bale, Benoit Assou-Ekotto...these are all top class players! So as far as I am concerned, Commoli has a good track record when i comes to finding young talent for cheap! If him and kenny say that Andy and Downing will come good, I will trust them, they have a vast amount more knowledge and experience in football than us all put together.

The main point is, you have to give this squad time to gel and click. It will come together and in a year or two you will be very pleasantly surprised. Just give them time to work their magic!

I’m not calling for Kenny to go - I’m just pointing out that after the way he turned it round last season it’s more than disappointing the way things have panned out thus far this season

I don’t expect us to be top of the league – but equally I don’t expect us to be unable to beat teams like Norwich, Swansea and Sunderland in front of our own fans

But my beef is with Comolli – not Kenny – as purchases like Henderson and Carroll – overhyped and vastly overpriced young British players - have his name written all over them – and to think that we paid more for Henderson then we got for Merieles is just bad business – simple as

His record at Tottenham was mediocre at best

For every Luca Modric and Gareth Bale, there’s about four David Bentley’s – Gilberto and Woodgate can hardly be described as resounding successes at Tottenham – and to describe Assou Ekotto as a top player is wide of the mark

If he had such a good record at Tottenham why did Levy sack him alongside the hapless Ramos and his right hand man at the time Poyet

I take the point that we’re a work in progress but what concerns me is that we look a lot weaker than we were towards the end of last season and given that we’ve spent about £100m for the priviledge questions have to be asked

It’s not good enough to say if Comolli and Daglish think Downing and Carroll are good enough that’s okay for you, when both players have struggled despite being given the nod over more on form rivals

Coming good oin sa couple of years will be two years too late. Our future success depends on us getting into the Champions League at the end of this season

If I was the current manager of the Club and had what I said as in the Clubs best interests at Heart I would do the right thing and resign and move back upstairs out the way which is what he should of dont in the first place.

Once Dalglish goes he should go for good out of the club in any capacity. I don't mean that in a nasty way. He would undermine the new manager. Evertime the team had a bad patch the cop would call Dalglish who would be watching in the stands. It would be untenable.
