KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Stevie G & Raul

Could they form an effective central partnership as part of a 4-man midfield, sharing both attacking & defensive duties?

I'd like to see them given the chance in the middle, as I think they're good enough for it to work.

Would be my ideal midfield partnership out of all the CMs we have.

If were goin to win games at home then I think they have to play together in the middle.

I'd say home AND away! You should play your best available team all the time. That's how it was during our halcyon days in the 70s & 80s.

This is blatantly obvious and has been since Raul arrived, only person who can`t see it is Roy.

might look like dream combination on paper..
but stevie isnt young any more.. his stamina going to decrease as time goes by ... we need a work horse in middle or someone who could do the defending job for stevie....

Raul is used out wide because there is no one to play there. It baffles me too. I would like to see Johnson given a new lease of life by starting him as a RM. I can see him playing there for years to come.

We still need a highly rated midfielder

we need wingers, we have nt had a decent winger since steve macmanaman, how many years ago was that?...

I've never regarded Raul as a wide player. It's ridiculous to play him there (note to manager!!!). In th same way that Kuyt, Cole and Maxi aren't natural wide players, though Cole is probably the best of the lot out wide, having played a good deal of his football out wide.
