Do we know our best XI or what our formation should be? Despite all the friendlies, im not sure that we know what combination to go with in midfield or up front. Personally, I'd go for a 4-3-3 formation, riena in goal, a back four of finnan, carragher, agger, riise/arbeloa, then play alonso mascherano and gerrard in the middle, with babel, torres and pennant as the forward three.
who would you pick?

I think we will pinch it 1-0. Reason being I think Torres may make the difference something unexpected will get us the 3 points. I think Villa will shut up shop and go for the point but either SG will tank through at some point or Torres will come up with something unexpected. We need a good start and Villa park has always been good to us in the past, but it will be tight. Have to also say Gareth Barry is the danger man from any set peices so we have to be in total concentration mode if they have anything like that. We also need to watch for the pace of Young and Agabonhalor as they can be mighty dangerous.
I watched the friendly against Inter and although Inter put out a sort of reserve side and were 2 3 weeks off full fitness. Villa impressed me, especailly G Barry. Its not gonna be easy but I feel we can get the 3 points.
Team
Reina
Finnan Agger Carra Risse
Alonso Mascherano Gerrard Kewll
Kuyt Torres
Mascherano to break up anything Young , Agabonhalor and Barry can through at us and Xabi because a long pass to Torres feet might bring about the unexpected.

I think we can get all three points as long as we stay ALERT at the back.
Pre season was good in general and it was what to be expected with trying different options out. But the only thing that really bothered me so much was how casual we have been at the back at times. Especially when we'd dominate possession and then be hit on the break.
I think we all know a lot of teams are just going to play the sit back and let us see what we can do, then try hit us on the break tactic, this season - hopefully that can be eradicated by some more sharpness up front!
And I presume that's what Villa might do on Saturday. So if we stay alert, sharp and focused at the back, I can only see a Liverpool win by one or hopefully two goals.
Also, I hope we don't do too much "trying to walk it into the net". Bit of instinct up front and we'll win by three goals!

Not meaning to put a downer on the new season! I'm going for a 1-1 draw, a tough game to start and Martin O'Neil seems to do well against us. I'll settle for a point but I do think when the first 10 games have gone we will have over 20 points! Just think this is difficult one to start, but if we can pinch it what a start it could be!!

Not at all a downer Crazy Horse. That makes sense to me. I think it will be a very tight game and it will be hard to break them down. I think we'll have a better say in the possesion but I'm weary of them slipping one in if we're not too alert at the back (
)
If we keep focused in defense then I'm optimistic we can get a vital goal to take all three points.

Just a little point on the setanta....also via broaband for £7.99/month 3 sports channels plus a very nice archives section wich gives you the chance to see games again if missed live. I choose it and so far very happy..no contract..
Back to the topic, a clear win with Torres and Stevie on the score sheet for me...COME ON YOU REDS!!

Agree with CrazyHorse....1-1 draw. Beleive Rafa should start off the game with the a side that pretty much represented us so well at times last season.... and then add Babel as the game progresses.
GK:Reina
RB:Finn
LB:Risse
CB:Carra
CB:Agger
RW:Jermaine
CM:Stevie-G
CM:Alonso
LW:Harry
CF:Kuyt
CF:Torres
Kuyt to get us a goal in the 2nd half to get us a point in a fairly entertaining but unconvincing start to the season. I think Villa are strong but over the season our new boys will add the flair and will make the difference for a quality crusade to number 19.......as the old saying goes "don't put all your eggs in one basket"....
In Rafa we trust

I think a 3-0 win the boys are up to it spirits are high in the camp and Gerrard is going to smack the sh*t outta someone who doesn't play well as he has been screaming that we need a flyer start to the season. I think Torres will score a brace and benayoun to setup set up Babbel's first goal after both coming on as a sub.
My team
GK:Reina
RB:Finnan
CB:Carra
CB:Agger
LB:Riise
RM:Pennant
CM:Gerrard
CM:Alonso
LM:Kewell
RF:Kuyt
LF:Torres
