The formation will change depending on the opposition. Don't be surprised to see Gerrard off the striker against Athletico aswell.

If thats the case Rafa's an idiot.

One thing he used to do which I think is fantastic was when the captains were selected, he'd pick two players... and offer the captain of one side a choice of those two players, the other one went on the other side. He done this untill the teams in training were sorted and it put a stop to people picking new lads last or the players last.

It added alot to the team spirit and you never had the same lads being picked last every week which done the team wonders.

Just a daft little something I thought I'd share in this hour!

why have any picking at all? why not just count off at random, or have the coach pick even teams to start with and read 'em off alphabetically.

You might finish up with 11 defenders or 11 attackers and no goalkeeper on the one hand, and everyone would moan at the coach if the teams wern't evenly matched on the other.

Although I believe Rafa goes with your first option most weeks Joe

Chelsea play three pure midfielders in there - we need to watch lampard and ballack/deco so thats where both masher and xabi come in - then there is mikel and leave him following gerrard around and gerrard will have him in his pocket - that leaves reira to compete with boswinga and kuyt with cashley and leave torres to rip another into terry and his partner with support from the others. we need three in the middle and we need masher in there .

Stop crying about insults. Its getting pathetic. If you can't take being called a name for talking complete and utter rubbish don't post on an internet forum. Grow some balls!!

Your posts are rubbish, they lack intelligence, reasoned arguement and balance, you complete neglect the facts, you compare players like Kuyt to Gerrard and Berbatov and keep telling us how great Liverpool are as a team when its crystal clear to anyone with an ounce of sense that we are lacking in quality in comparrison to the top three. You bang on about positives and completely fail to look at the hole arguement.

Your happy clapping rubbish posts are a joke to be quite honest and you aren't even worth "debating" with as you come back with the same old time and time again.

I've already asked you were do you think we aren't good enough, you can't answer... you bang on about how good everyone in our team is. You can't see the weeknesses and faults so whats the point even discussing it with you?
