Guess the starting XI of 2013-14 season.

Well as the title indicates, let's guess the starting XI of next season when all of the players are fully fit. Include the bench also. Plus it will be nice if we share the XI we wants ( please be realistic and don't put Barcelona squad over here ).

Well this is the XI i want along with the subs.

                               Reina

Glen J       Howedes       Agger     Jose E

                   Alonso       SG          Lucas

Eriksen                   Suarez           Coutinho

Subs: Hendo,Kelly,Wisdom,Sturridge,Sterling,Texeira

With Skrtel and  Coates said they are not happy along with Carra retiring, i would move Kelly and Wisdom to CB and use them as a back up to both RB and CB position. And would like Alonso here. I saw some one posted that Alonso would never get the 10 goals and assists that SG got this season. Even though SG plays the deep to another CM, it is not exactly where Xabi played for us under Rafa. SG is moving all over the pitch rather than staying deep and spraying it. He still has pace in him. Still the problem is we will really lack pace in our mid field. And will send Shelvey, Suso on loan and try to get whatever money from Borini  and Assaidi. I don't know what to do with Allen. We payed bit too much for him. No way we are going to get 3m for him. There is a player in there some where. May be he can get some playing time in Carling cup and so.





However i don't think we will sign Alonso. And i feel Allen and Borini will be involved heavily next seaon. Lets hope they prove all of us wrong.
This is what i guess will be our XI and bench .

                           Reina

GJ       Williams         Agger    JE
                 

               Gerrard    Lucas
                       Allen         
Ince               Suarez        Couti

Bench: Borini, Sturridge, Hendo, Sterling, Wisdom,Kelly


So please post what you think and lets see who got it most accurate once the summer window closes.

Eriksen definitely isn't a winger.

Wouldn't mind a 4-1-2-2-1 formation next season.

Reina

Kelly    Benatia     Agger     Enrique

Lucas

Gerrard     Henderson

Isco     Coutinho

Suarez

Reina; Kelly, De Vrij, Agger, Enrique; Lucas, Gerrard; Ince, Belhanda, Coutinho; Suarez.

Not sure about De Vrij, never seen him play so I don't know if he can slot straight into the team so if he'll be a backup player like Coates but I've stuck him in anyway.

Eriksen definitely isn't a winger.

I think he can play as an winger cutting inside like Couti does.

Have to be realistic think there will be 3 max 4 incomings this season if we keep our big names i think it will be this:

                                                                                 Reina
                                                 GJ          Williams                Agger     Enrique
                                                                             Lucas
                                                                                         Gerrard
                                                                          Eriksen
                                                 Coutinho                            Suarez
                                                                      Sturridge
Subs: Jones, Kelly, Alderwield, Allen, Hendo, Downing, Gamerio/Menez

Have to be realistic think there will be 3 max 4 incomings this season if we keep our big names i think it will be this:

                                                                                 Reina
                                                 GJ          Williams                Agger     Enrique
                                                                             Lucas
                                                                                         Gerrard
                                                                          Eriksen
                                                 Coutinho                            Suarez
                                                                      Sturridge
Subs: Jones, Kelly, Alderwield, Allen, Hendo, Downing, Gamerio/Menez

I would have to agree with you mate. Thats exactly who I would like to come in. It could happen.

This is what I think'll happen:

Mignolet; Johnson, Alderweiled, Agger, Enrique; Lucas, Gerrard, Eriksen; Ince, Suarez, Coutinho.
Jones; Williams, Kelly; Allen, Henderson; Borini, Sturridge.

Guess or Hope?

Exactly. 

Guess/fear:

Vorm

Lucas Gerrard
Downing
Borini Sturridge Coutinho

Hope:

Reina
Johnson De Vrij Agger Enrique
Diame Gerrard
Eriksen
Ben Arfa Suarez Coutinho

Exactly.

Your guess/fear is just clear sarcastic needling of BR. Imbecile.

Your guess/fear is just clear sarcastic needling of BR. Imbecile.

Are you suggesting that Williams and Vorm are not possible targets, and that there is no chance Suarez will leave?

All of those things are possible.  I don't see why you think it's "needling" BR.  Based on last year, when he took two former Swansea players, why would it be so unrealistic that he would do the same again? 

Reina

Johnson
De vrij
Agger
Enrique

Lucas
Allen/Gerrard

Gerrard/Erikson

Suarez
Sturridge/Borini
Ince / Coutinho

I'm suggesting you're a tw*t. Nothing more or less. You don't have to make yourself look like a bigger one by trying to justify what you posted.

Exactly. 

Guess/fear:

Vorm
Johnson Williams Agger Enrique
Lucas Gerrard
Downing
Borini Sturridge Coutinho

Hope:

Reina
Johnson De Vrij Agger Enrique
Diame Gerrard
Eriksen
Ben Arfa Suarez Coutinho

You think we won't replace Suarez if we sell him?

Hope:

Reina
Johnson De Vrij Agger Enrique
Diame Gerrard
Eriksen
Ben Arfa Suarez Coutinho

That team is mouth watering! Chances are though that Ben Arfa will line up on the right side of the doctor's table more than the right side of our midfield.

                                        Reina
                Johnson   Williams   Agger    Enrique
                                Gerrard   Lucas
                       Ben Arfa     Eriksen   Coutinho
                                       Suarez

SUBS-Jones, Kelly, New LB/LM, Henderson, Suso, Sturridge, New attacking mid/winger.


Can see Skrtel, Downing, Caroll and Shelvey leaving. Sterling and Coates out on loan.

Exactly. 

Guess/fear:

Vorm
Johnson Williams Agger Enrique
Lucas Gerrard
Downing
Borini Sturridge Coutinho

Thats stupid. Even if we selling Suarez, we would at least buy another striker.

Reina, Johnson, de Vrij, Agger, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Eriksen, Coutinho, Suarez, Sterling

Really can't understand why anyone would want/hope to bring Ince in. Sterling is, in my opinion, going to start firing next season.

First game of the season vs a newly promoted side at Anfield:

                 Reina
Johnson De Vrij Agger Enrique
          Gerrard Alonso
  Ince      Eriksen    Coutinho
               Suarez

With real attacking reinforcements on the bench, although that team should really get the job done.

         Reina
Johnson       Diakite       Agger    Jose
              Gerrard     Lucas
                      Allen
Eriksen            Coutinho
             Suarez


Would love to see us bring in a Boss CM. Some to challenge Lucas. Maybe even replace him Need a strong physical present. We are to weak and soft at times.

Think Diakite in at CB would help us out also in this regard!

Dont think we need too much more after that. I believe in our young players to step up if needed. We need to be careful this summer. QUALITY over quantity

Its in a dossier somewhere ......

Think a proper 'ard midfielder is needed alright. Eriksen looks like he could well be on his way here too. I wouldn't have him here as a winger tbh, neither would I have Allen, unless he plays his way into the team.

Hope Kelly can have a big year next year. Unfortunately I don't think he is promise anymore, but a first teamer, so he really has to step up, stay injury free and try nail down a first team spot. Hope he can get a few games in a centre half.
