I THINK SOMEONE HAS DONE A SIMILAR POST TO THIS BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN

FOLLOWING LIVERPOOLS WEBSITE

"Sissoko is expected to complete his move to Anfield this week"
WE HAVE TOO MANY MIDFEILDERS AND THEY ALL AINT GONNA WANNA SIT ON THE BENCH
WE HAVE

GERRARD
ALONSO
RISSE (NOT SO MUCH OF A PROBLEM AS HE CAN DROP BACK TO LB)
GARCIA
KEWELL
HAMMAN
NUNEZ
PARTRIDGE
JOHN WELSH
ZENDEN
GONZALEZ
AND NOW Mohamed Sissoko

THATS 12 MIDFEILDERS HOW ARE WE GONNA FIT THESES INLIVERPOOL FC

None of them would be expected to start every game so its good to have a healthy squad rotation. Welsh and Partridge would probably not feature in the first team, with the exception of carling cup games. Nunez and perhaps even Kewell would be a fringe player at most and remember, Gonzalez would be out until mid October.

Riise will most probably drop to LB if Rafa opts another player in LW (Zenden or Gonzalez). Remember, Hamann is 32 and he would at most be a backup for Alonso and Gerrard. Same with Sissoko. Sissoko would not expect to be in the first team straight away as he is still young and has yet to mature. Rafa will most probably use him as a backup for Gerrard and Alonso as well. Garcia will most likely feature in RW, despite rumours that we are in frantic search of a new RW.

Think Chelsea had Lampard, Makelele, Robben, Duff, Jarosik, Cole, Tiago, Smertin, Parker- and even then Gudjohnsen, Bridge and Glen Johnson were needed/used in midfield. As above post said some are not gonna expected to be used that often.

Rotatation and formation . We've got a long season ahead of us, expect a lot of squad rotation and slight variations on a 5 man midfield .

:angry:

Just spotted the other thread which was started two days before this one . Sorry I've fu'ckin replied to this one ,hate adding to what is essentially spam .

IMO

Gerrard - Alonso will be confirmed starters.

Zenden - Figo - Risse - Kewell - Garcia - Nunez - Gonzales will all be rotated on the wings.

Hamman and Sisoko will fill in for Alonso - Gerrard when needed and Hamman will feature in the CL.

with a season we had last season (with all the injuries and suspension), i am happy with the number of midfielders we have......

also need to group them as below. Many of the below players can play in a variety of roles too.

Central midfielders

GERRARD
ALONSO
HAMMAN
JOHN WELSH
Mohamed Sissoko
Diao (he still belongs to us doesn't he ?)
ZENDEN

Right wingers
GARCIA
NUNEZ
PARTRIDGE
ZENDEN

Left wingers
RISSE
KEWELL
GONZALEZ
ZENDEN

Support strikers
Kewell
Garcia

EXCELLENT POINT ABOUT THE INJURIES SHOULD OFF THOUGHT B4 I STARTED THIS TOPIC

by **joependo** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:24 am

Lads plus Nunez could be going to celta vigo.But to add another one can't Carra play there.I am glad we have so many midfielders this year.Remember last year with injuries we never had that many players for backup.This year we have.Get ready for a long and rotational season

by **El Nino_#9** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:45 pm

i think we have the perfect amount of midfielders.
rotation, rotation, rotation!
as rafa would say- "they will give us possibilities, for sure!"
if anything we need an extra right winger!

-------------Reina------------------------------
Finnan/barraga-carragher-hyypia-risse/traore-------------
garcia/nunez - gerrard - alonso - Zenden/gonzalez
--------------pongolle-sissoko------------------
--------morientes/cisse/baros-------------------

I would be greatly suprised if Rafa didn't function with a 4-4-1-1 Sissoko is an amazing attacking midfielder, and I can see him playing in a supporting role to 1 striker, I am hoping cisse gets the run.

by **Gaunt** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:07 pm

Everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that Partridge was released and Nunez is looking to be on the way out. With the amount of games we will have this season and factor in any injuries we might have and the amount of midfielders we have is fine.
