Pepe Glen-Skrtel-Agger-José Bellamy-SG-Shelvey-Downing Carroll-Suarez No matter how I try I just can't find a way of justifying Henderson and Spearing somewhere near the squad! If that formation doesn't work, then we need to play: Pepe Glen-Skrtel-Agger-José Bellamy-SG-Downing Kuyt-Carroll-Suarez Why didn't we try any of those formations?

As for those 2 teams suggested, both would have needed Gerrard to play as a holding midfielder and we all know that wouldn't work and the 2nd formation is fantasy football. Its tactical ineptness at any level,

Once Spearing came off and Carroll came on the game changed. Should've been like the from the start. red for danger, red for power. -Bill Shankly

You generally need to have specialist holding midfielder in your team and whilst Spearing isn't the best we don't have many options in that department. The whole team looked like a rabbit in the headlights for the first half an hr, we just didnt play. The formation has no bearing on that.

So are you suggesting that Dalglish told them to continuously pass to the opposition and make sh*t decisions every time they had the ball for the first half hour? It doesn't work like that, the players have to look at themselves for the woeful start they had. It was exactly the same against Everton (with Carroll starting) in the semi, the only difference here is that we conceded a 2nd goal early in the 2nd half.

Most teams play that way and are successful and we have created loads of chances before today and missed them. The players just didn't perform for the first half hour regardless of formations, simple.
