Martin Kelly exceptional much better than Phil Jones... Jones wouldn't have been playing for the under 21s if it wasn't for Kelly being injured. But yeah we could do with a centre-half.

Gerrard in the role he played for England.



---------------------Carroll----------------------
Gerrard---------------------------------Suarez
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------Meireles---------------------
-------------------------------------------------
------------Adam--------Henderson----------
-------------------------------------------------
Aurelio----Agger-------Kelly---------Johnson
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------Reina------------------------

I expect a Lucas, Gerrard, Adam central midfield. Or maybe, just maybe, Gerrard will drop into the defensive midfield role and you'll see a Gerrard, Henderson and Adam trio.

Personally, if I was Dalglish, I'd set the Liverpool team as so:

----------------Suarez-----Kuyt---------------
-------------------------------------------------
---------Aquilani---Merelies--Gerrard-------
-------------------------------------------------
--------------------Lucas----------------------
-------------------------------------------------
Aurelio----Skrtel----Carragher---Johnson
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------Reina------------------------

Focusing on fluidity and Kuyt dropping back to make a flat midfield five in defence.



As for Arsenal, I'd set it up

------------Gervinho-----Van Persie------------
---------------------------------------------------
Arsavin-----Song-------Fabregas-----Rosicky-
-------------------------------------------------
Gibbs----Vermaellean----Squilacci---Sagna
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------Almunia *sigh*-------------

I expect Nasri to leave, but Fabregas to stay. Or Fabregas could go and Nasri could stay, or both could go. So the position of midfield playmaker is very much open to interpretation.

It won't happen though lol, Dalglish has spent £30 odd million on a pair of central midfielders. I imagine he plans to use them.

Agger--------------Carragher--------------Johnson

The old 3-6-1 formation
Now to edit my fifa line-up to suit this.

Done & dusted... Good to have a Quality free-kick taker at the club

Got a few now, I've seen gerrard and Suarez and aurelio hit a few in

True but Aurelio always injured... Adam's a class above the rest with free-kicks though...
I remember the one he scored in the play-off finals a good while back. Even scored direct from a corner.
This free-kick is awesome...

John O'Shea and Wes Brown have both gone to Sunderland. They will be missed and have both been fine servans over the past 10/12 years. Wes would have played a lot more had it not been for injury and Sheasy was also a good player, flexible. I remember him against Arsenal in 2002 playing in the midfield and not giving Vieira a kick all day. As well as his winner at Anfield. Goodbye lads, thanks for the memories.

Sky Sport Italia: Fulham sign John Arne Riise from Roma for £2.6m

Nice to see the ginge back In the prem...
Never forget this goal...

Riise scored some sick goals in his day. Doesn't his brother play for fulham?

Yep he does... Feeling good again... Feeling normal now Footies upon us. Reading today,
Arsenal and Liverpools transfer talk is they targeting the same players e.g Downing Mata Hazard
Just stuff to fill the pages I guess. Although I do feel Liverpool will sign one more £20+million player

 

[Racks]

Raul Meireles is as good as gone he hasn't been including in the squad travelling for a pre-season tour of Asia...
Disappointed... Hopefully Adam can step in and push us on from last year.
I rate Martin Kelly highly and predict within the next two seasons he'll be in the Full England team.
Still not sure if he's better as a full-back or centre-half.

SkySports Breaking News Arsenal make contact over Downing... Although Liverpool is Downing's preferred club.

 

[Springsteen]

Makes the Nasri leaving story have more credence if Downing goes there....

Nasri as good as gone imo. Weird one though... Wenger don't usually buy English players at what 27years old and for £18million.

 

[Zorak]

Yeah don't see Nasri staying, but, £20 million for a player with only 1 year left on his contract is good business. Especially for one who has arguabley only had half a good season yet.
