AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I really do think a loss here would kick-start Liverpool's season and therefore possibly end ours in terms of top 4 challenge. We need to make sure we don't lose this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I wouldn't mind if this was called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Probably a really stupid comment but what about Collins in midfield? Maybe in a sorta diamond. Collins holding, then Milner as the main attacking midfield but with it changing with the other 3...Young and Warnock providing width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerHQ Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Must not lose game. If we do Liverpool will be two points off us, Spurs probably above us and Man. City possibly level on points. 1-1. Would defo have NRC in for this, him, Stan and Milner as some sort of trio and push Downing up just off the strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobax Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I agree with the NRC call. The midfield should line up as Dowing - Petrov - NRC - Milner, although I have a horrible feeling we'll see Heskey on the left wing. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleBromVilla Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Friedel L.Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Downing Reo-Coker Petrov Milner Carew Agbonlahor Agree with that apart from upfront. I never thought I'd say this but Heskey deserves to keep his place based on what I saw today, played well. Carew although he didn't have much time, didn't have any impact.

Tomaszk Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Id go Fried Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Albrighton Milner Petrov Delph Downing Agbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be like a Huddlestone without the passing..... so crap really. He passes the ball brilliantly IMO and also would be very good defensively and has a good footballing brain and i'm sure zonally could sit in there, obviously with a Diamond aswell, he's got support from the midfield.

Hanky Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thinking it over NRC has to play this and do a job on Stevie Me like he did at Anfield, whether it be in a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoD Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'd go ---------Friedle L.Young -- Collins -- Dunne -- Warnock Albrington -- Petrov -- Milner -- Downing ----------Heskey -- Gabby I'd have Collins in as i think we'll need a stronger passer in CB though it is harsh to drop Ceullar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B6avfc Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Id go 4-5-1 as we killed them at Anfield with that system and it lets us get control of the midfield against teams that play 4-2-3-1 like they do, same gk and defence as last few games, a central midfield 3 of petrov, milner and reo-coker with gabby and downing out wide, heskey playing the lone striker, i doubt we'll play that tho, reckon it'll be milner out wide and reo-coker in the middle in a 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted December 28, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2009 Friedel L.Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Downing Reo-Coker Petrov Milner Carew Agbonlahor I'd have Heskey in instead of Carew as Heskey is better at dropping back.

barry'sboots Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Be tempted to go 4-5-1 in this one. Don't think Heskey is 100% and just don't like Carew in the team at the moment, rather he be an impact sub if we need a goal. Perhaps... Usual back 4. ------Petrov------ ---Coker--Delph- Milner--------Downing --------Gabby--------- and let's really get stuck into them, confidence isn't high, let's match them in the middle and get stuck into them early, don't let them settle. This for me. The Plop games in the second half of last season and earlier this season and the Arsenal game shows that we are not good enough to play Sky 4 teams that play 4-3-3 with a 4-4-2 and that we need to match up to their formation to give ourselves a chance. Whilst this Plop team, particularly without Mascherano, are nowhere near as slick as the Arsenal CM they would overrun a Petrov + 1. The only change I might make is to drop Stan, who IMO had a very poor game against Arsenal and looked tired (but MON will never do this), and bring in Albrighton to keep Jimmy in the middle. JC as the impact sub and big Emile to get a rest before the Blackburn FA Cup game. Please God a 2-0 victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete165 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 well if we play 4-4-2 away against a three man midfield, I don't see why MON would go 4-5-1 at home against one, I really don't. Big teams match up in the middle against the other top teams, but Martin seems reluctant - god knows why, given our superb record playing that system. Anyway, given that.... --------------------------------FRIEDEL------------------------------------ --YOUNG--------------CUELLAR-------DUNNE---------------WARNOCK-- ------------------------PETROV---------REO-COKER----------------------- ------------MILNER---------------------------------------DOWNING-------- ----------------------------HESKEY---GABBY-------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 the lads looked tired against Arsenal with a weeks rest.. Especially second half.. we ran out of steam. Have to make several changes to freshen things up. Even against United we were dominated the way Arsenal did... we need 5 in the middle. --------------------------------FRIEDEL------------------------------------ BEYE--------------COLLINS----------DUNNE-----------------WARNOCK ---------------MILNER--------REO-COKER----------SIDWELL------------ ALBRIGHTON---------------------------------------------------DOWNING ---------------------------------CAREW------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 It'll be 4-4-2 no doubt! Sidwell or NRC replacing Young! I want some of the players to read the comments about yesterdays match and then come out fighting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanscott Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 OK, just reiterating what I said in the main thread... I'd go: Friedel Young, Cueller, Dunne, Warnock Albrighton, Petrov, Milner, Downing Gabby, Heskey I think Albrighton can offer as much as Ash going forward but he will need to tuck in a bit more against Liverpool to allow him to cut more things out in the middle. The only thing I'd be wary of would be his positional sense when tracking back but if it doesn't work we'll always have the option of changing things around by bringing on NRC or Sidwell.
