Gerrard on the right? Nah. He influences the game wherever he plays but hes more effective playing off torres IMO. Why break up their partnership when its the best in world football? When hes played on the right in the past, he tends to drift inside and just goes missing leaving us with nothing on the right hand side. Gerrard and torres are our biggest asset/threat. It makes no sense to break them up.
Suprised so many are choosing Kyrigakos too, and based on what, the last 2-3 games? At the start of the season he was dreadfull, clumsy, inconsistent, and hes had a few solid games and all of a sudden hes in our strongest line up? Carragher hasn't been at his best this season but hes not exactly 'past it', far from it actually and he is certainly further ahead in pecking order than Kyrigakos.
Feel sorry for Lucas. Hes improved so much and is really getting a grip of things but i don't really see where he fits into the side. He's a great backup player for Mascherano but i doubt Lucas will ever be happy with that. Can see him moving on in a year or 2.
My team would be:
Reina
Johnson Carra Skrtel/Agger Aurelio
Mascherano Aquilani
Kuyt/Maxi Benayoun
Gerrard Torres
Basically the same side as last season minus Alonso and Arebloa.
