So let the battle commence! Liverpool and milan lock horns tonight in what is said to be part 2 of the epic encounter that was Istanbul. But who will Benitez start with?? My team Would be: Reina Finnan, Carra, Agger, Riise Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Kewell/Zenden Crouch, Kuyt I believe we need a 4-4-2 line up, since we play our best football with this system. Having two holding players in midfield will counter the packed midfield that Milan employ and I belive if we are to get at milan it will be through using the width. Although i'd love pennant to play, you just cant drop alonso (in turn putting gerrard in the middle). The two men up front will be pivitol and will be required to hold the ball and thus i think it is crucial that crouch and kuyt start! I have heard that Liverpool are looking to use a 4-5-1 formation, which is a good idea, but i think that it may be too negative. The formation didn't do wonders for Man Utd (nevertheless unlike United, Liverpool actually know how to play with that system). I think the 1 man up front may get isolated, and if we are to play with 1 striker it should be Crouch...but then you cannot drop Kuyt! Who would you Select?
Watever they choose, good luck liverpool. hopefully u guys will take it, but i cant c it happening unfortunately
