Predicting Kenny Dalglish’s First Choice Starting Eleven

|

Luis Suarez – RW – With a proliferation of central midfield players, a five man midfield looks likely and with Andy Carroll likely to start, it may mean Suarez playing in a wider role. Has played in the role for Ajax and Uruguay and shouldn’t cause many problems for him if Kenny opts for 4-5-1/4-2-3-1.

Steven Gerrard – AM – When fit I am sure the Reds captain will return to his attacking midfield role, which has served him so well in recent years.

Stewart Downing – LW – He may play wide on the right sometimes but I am sure King Kenny is looking to Downing to supply the width we have been missing in recent years. His pace, crossing ability and interplay with Enrique will be crucial for Liverpool to have a successful season.

Andy Carroll – ST – If big Andy gets the supply, he will be a handful for any defence. If he is left isolated he will be ineffective and it is important that the likes of Suarez, Gerrard, Adam and Downing ensure they develop a very good understanding with the 22 year old.

So what formation and personnel do you think Kenny will pick for the majority of matches this season? I am not looking for you want to be in the eleven, but who you think will be.

    You took the words out of my mouth. That is also my favoured line up. Wouldn’t change a thing. I would make a subs bench of: Doni, kelly, Skrtel, Spearing, Aquilani, Pacheco and Kuyt

    I can’t predict KK’s starting but i think your’s could possibly be right.
    MY starting 11 would be as follows:-
    pepe
    kelly…carra…cahill…enrique
    johnson…Stevie…adam..downing
    carroll…suarez

  • Jay says:

    Your spot on with your formation mate and personnel (best possible 11). Some old skool fans believe KK will go 4-4-2 with Hendo wide but I dont buy into that, we played poor in pre-season with 4-4-2, it only works if you have two pacey wingers. 4-2-3-1 is the way to go or 4-3-3 but 4-2-3-1 is the safe bet as we all know Gerrard in the hole with Luis and Downing either side is going to be devastating.

  • WC says:

    I would agree with the formation but I would prefer to see Kelly start ahead of Johnson and I think Suarez would be better on the left as he showed with Uruguay in the Copa America. Gary Cahill for centre back and I think we will have a great season, I can’t wait

  • ruben says:

    if cahill is going to start the season with us,for me carra is the man to make space.he s getting older and is trowing a lot more balls in the air.you can t do that in the modern fottie.so cahill and agger for me.i m very soory carra but tanks for every thing.Y N W A.

  • Eric says:

    Reina
    Johnson Carragher Agger Enrique
    Gerrard Lucas Adam
    Suarez Carroll Downing

    Subs: Doni, Kelly, Skrtel, Hendo, Raul, Aquilani, Kuyt.
