First 11 for next season

[redhorizon2]

Of our current squad who would you say deserves to be in 1st XI in most games and who is back up?

 

[ILD]

This won't end well redhorizon.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Depending on who we buy, Mignolet, Gerrard, Sturridge, Suarez and maybe Henderson will start every game they are fit for.

The rest is case by case.

 

[Pesam]

It's a squad game these days and to compete in 4 competitions you need to rotate. I want 18 players who are good enough to be deemed first team regulars who all play about 70% of our matches next season.

Ming
Skrtel
Sahko
Enrique
Sterling
Gerrard
Hendo
Allen
Suarez
Studge

[cloggypop]

I am not so sure that RB is Sterling's best position.

Unless we are only playing 3 at the back of course.

Hard to tell sometimes.

I hope we buy a better keeper.

 

[redhorizon2]

I hope we buy a better keeper.

We paid £9 million for this one. I don't want us to make a loss

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

I hope we buy a better keeper.

So do I. Which is why I said depending on who we buy. If we don't buy any, then Mignolet starts all the games.

Except for Cup games @gkmacca

 

[Brizzle]

Yep, we might need a better keeper than Brad for the cup games @gkmacca

Backup: Flanagan, Robinson, Sakho, Toure, Wisdom, Allen, Lucas, Coutinho

* don't really deserve to be there but I can't see us addressing those problems this summer on top of everything else.

It's DB - anybody in that line up could be at RB...

...... or nobody.... Because in DB world maybe there are no right backs.

 

[Molbystwin]

In as much as to say I want a better goaly and better full backs as top priority.

I'd like to see Suso back as well as Borini (unless we can sell him for a profit), again to be used as back up. Ilori said he could play at RB and could be an alternative to Johnson.

------------------Mignolet
Flanagan Skrtel -------Sakho--------Enrique

----------------Gerrard
-------Allen----------------Henderson
Sterling-------------------------------Alberto
------------------Sturridge

 

[cloggypop]

Alberto?

 

[Modo]

Alberto?

Had to shoehorn someone onto the left flank.

 

[cloggypop]

Alberto?

 

[Modo]

Alberto?

Haha, OK.

Jordon Ibe then or Borini or Assaidi.

I have little or no faith in that Suarez will stay and I don't want to be sucked in to the transfer circus.
I hope Johnson fucks off.
So until all the signing are done and dusted, that's pretty much our best team.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Im actually more surprised you left someone else out

 

[peterhague]

Haha, OK.

Yeah it's always important to maintain your dignity Modo.

Well Agger isn't getting love so he'll definitely go.

 

[StevieM]

It's great that you've decided we're getting rid of Suarez & Agger.

But I think we wouldn't be replacing them with players from the current squad.

You can't expect a man of Modo's refinement to allow himself to be sucked into the transfer circus, though.

You expecting Coutinho to be sold too then?

 

[Modo]

You expecting Coutinho to be sold too then?

Oh yeah...

 

[Ryan]

The lack of genuine interest from SCM members in properly contributing to this shambles of a thread aptly demonstrates how well I've done in educating this site over the years.

 

[redhorizon2]

Gerrard needs to be used more sparingly next season, and as such I think we need a world class DM.

So we need a world class DM for our first eleven?

@Ryan is going to love this
