KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum starting 11 to face Birmingham

Now that kuyt is out and cole is still suspended who would you like to start against Birmingham. With two draw last
year liverpool really need remind birmingham that they only came up last season. I Think this game is a real test for Roy as it is a boogie team for the mighty reds.
my line up would be
reina
kelly carra agger konchesky
johno meriesles poulsen maxi
gerrard
torres
i would put johno as a winger cus i believe he has real potential to excel in that position like bale and kelly has proven himself already to be no mugg in the backline doing great things in the europa ties.No jovanovic cus he has not convince in the left position just yet he does not make clever runs and he does not help out defensively aswell. Maxi comes in as he clever on the ball n he would put a tackle in. No lucas because i reckon he will give a lot of fouls away and if that gudsjohnson player plays (i don't know if that his name blonde hair boy) he will give renia a lot of problems in deadball situation.

Birmingham werent a bogey side until last season , we used to punish that herd

fair enough but get a result their thats already three more points then rafa am kiddin

reina

kelly
carragher
agger
konchesky

johnson
meireles
gerrard
babel

pacheco
torres

but we all know jovanovic will play babel and pacheco dont have a hope of starting ngog will probably play with torres up front awful already not looking forward to LFC games this season

Thats the spirit House! I think Roy will line up 4-5-1 with Babel or Maxi coming in for Kuyt.

-----------Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Konch
--------Paulsen Raul
------Maxi Gerrard Jova
-----------Torres

I don't think we have the right players for a rigid 4-4-2. Roy will probably look to build something that moves between 4-4-1-1 and 4-5-1.

i go along with yr line up but maybe i would start with pacheco or babel on the left.

----------------reina-------------------
johnson-----carra----agger-----konchesky
----------poulsen----meireles-----------
----babel------gerrard---------jovanovic
----------------torres------------------

i really wish raul would start, see how babel would work on the right wing, try using jovanovic as a second striker, get kelly on the right side and use both konchesky & aurelio on the left
but hard to see kelly or pacheco starting in PL anyway

Bogey team or not, come sunday we should be running rings round teams like Birmingham, this is what frustrates me about Liverpool, i hope we just go for the kill right from the kick off but we never do!!

Id like to see a 3-0... get in the groove for the scum.

I'd love to see a 3-0,but with Brum being well organised and hard to break down i'd take a scrappy 1-0.

Ye but i don't want them to play for the "scrappy 1-0" id like to think they go out there in the mindset of hammerin them.

Ok Birmingham maybe well organised, but Birmingham fall into the category of the teams we should be taking 6 points from every season.
