when momo is back....

[Gaurav]

would you rather have him partner alonso and shift gerrard to right side or will you stick with the gerrard/xabi partnership?

imo,the tough decision has to be made to leave him out of the team,and continue with gerrard(who has been ****in awesome when he has been in the middle) alongside alonso.that for me is our best central mid field pair and we should stick with them.its a tough choice to leave momo out,but tough choices have to be made.

what do you peeps reckon?

Its still a couple of months away, so its hard to say....

but other injuries preventing.....

-----------Reina
-----Carra Hyypia Agger
Finnan---------------Riise
-----Gerrard Momo Xabi
--------Bells Kuyt

I wouldnt want to see Gerrard at RM again, he did good there aswell; but he can do so much more in the middle. And Playing 2 DMs is a tad to excessive in the majority of games, should only be used in the tougher games.

So if we had to stick with 4-4-2....id prefer to keep Gerrard at CM and Xabi as his main partner, but 'rotating' with Momo. But then we're stuck with Pennant at RM probably :handbags

The reason why I said no comment is because it is a difficult decision.

my team is similar to that. id like to see all three of them, with gerrard in a free role, like macca used to play

[brezipool]

got to say I agree, we have to find room for all of them, I like the 3-5-2.

[scottdc]

the 352 is the best way to accomodate the players , the way gerrard is playing at the second it would be an injustice to play him on the right

[leeman]

gerrard was awesome yesterday, if you ask me the only real difference in the game was that we took chances, they didnt!

[scottdc]

his pass for bellamy's second was genius

[Shanks]

If we play 442, then simply it has to be Xabi and Steevie in the middle, obviously if we switch to 352 for games, ala Wigan, then we can accomodate them, but I think that despite the 4-0 win on Sat, it showed that 352 can be exploited defensively, we had a ew problems in exactky the same areas I stated when we all debated wether to use it or not.

[brezipool]

That's true mate, but Im sure the more we play it, the better we will get at it.

[Shanks]

A valid point, but as I said in the other thread, I think we need to pick and choose who we use it against, a better team will have taken more chance to expolit it.

[Chaplain]

You can easily play a 3-5-2 so it ends up being a 5-3-2 though, and it would accomodate all first-team deserving players when fit.

[Shanks]

Then u lose the width, unless u tell the wing backs to get forward, and then thats 352.

[brezipool]

I think Rafa is clever enough as shanks says to pick and choose.
