Ace has actually played 5 a side against Gerrard about 3 times when he was younger. He was the best player then by a mile as well.

and here he is when he was younger

Reina.
Finnan.
Agger.
Carragher.
Arbeloa.



Defend, Defend, Defend, then hope Agger can score a screamer at the very end!

Reina-...
mascherano- great tackler and good at breaking down attacks
gerrard- like somone already said, good at everything
kuyt- always gives 100% and would always be there to pass to
torres- for creativity and pace

Wouldn't use Gerrard in a 5 a side squad.... Great player with a great heart and desire but may be found wanting in confined spaces.

Ridiculous statement, Gerrard is brilliant at EVERYTHING.

And Ace has actually played 5 a side against Gerrard about 3 times when he was younger. He was the best player then by a mile as well.

I would have

Reina (obviously)
Agger ( comfortable on the ball decent passer and good shot from any range if not closed down)
Mascherano (just edges it over Xabi, as he is quicker and would not let the opposition play)
Gerrard (can do the lot and would be star player)
Kuyt (will run all day and his shoot on sight policy would mean he scores for fun at 5 a side)

Fair enuff.. 

He's deffo the best player we have in the conventional game. And I'm sure in a 5 a side game with the local lads, he'll stand out like a sore thumb.

Against the very best in the smaller game, I just feel that he's not got the flair and completeness of the close control technique in this pacier type of game.... If that makes any sense?

Am pi$$ poor at explaining this stuff sometimes.....

Should get red37 to do it for me.....   

[The Bench]

Any 4 plus Shankly.

His teams never lost a five a side. They just kept playin till his team was in front!

Thats gotta be the best 5 a side team ever? They could never lose.

I just think you are underestimating him mate, his close control is brilliant, ok he is no Zola but he has two good feet, can shoot with either foot, can tackle pass and runs all day.
I bet if we watched him playing 5 a side with the rest of the squad (and by the way imagine what a treat that would be)he would still be the best player .
To miss him out is bizarre to be honest.

[woof woof !]

Reina ,        obviously he's our best keeper
Gerrard,       can play anywhere , he my defensive goal scorer       
Benayoun     great close control and awareness
Babel           similar to Benayoun only quicker plus has a big eye for goal
Torres         strength, stamina , awareness and fantastic acceleration .

[thegreedo]

Reina
Crouch
Kuyt
Voronin
Torres.

Attack! Attack! Attack, Attack, Attack!!!

You're probably right Ace .....
I do tend to be a little conservative at times with opinions on players' abilities.

Would be absolutely brilliant if we were privvy to the 5- aside games played on the training grounds..
