Has he? From what I've seen he tends to drift back into CM and leaves the flank exposed. I don't understand why we have a habbit of playing players out of position, I'm not for it because we're short all over the park especially midfield. We need Henderson's energy in the middle of the park as well to compensate for Gerrard and Lucas' lack of it.
Yeah he's played there when we've had a switch in the match Paul, I'm not 100% sure he's played there for an entire match I'll leave someone with a better memory than mine to fill in that blank.

I agree with you here but that's a different debate and when the midfield positions are already full (in the 3-5-2) I see no harm in trying to upgrade our weakest position with what, on current form, is a better player and certainly someone who appears to have the proper attitude which we need at the moment.

Fair point and in the system I posted I would hope that Henderson could use his relentless energy to fill the gaps in midfield while Skrtel could cover for him in transition if needed. However I can certainly see your point on this.
I agree Kelly lacks match fitness which is proving to be a big problem because of the lack of cover at RB. I mean who is to blame for that then? Because he's been unfit all friggin' season, someone must be doing something wrong with his fitness work because I just don't get it. Also agree that Johnson plays better as a LB, so maybe it's just RB altogether that we need to sort out.
Yep Kelly has been frustrating and Debs does make good points regarding the injuries he's coming back from, but like you I think he should have recovered by now and be contributing when we're struggling so much in his position.
And I merely stated that I don't think we should revert back to a 3-5-2 because we are playing well and winning. I'm sure Sturridge can come in and fit nicely into a 4-3-3 system. I don't need to be constructive about it, it's pretty obvious in my eyes that we should stick to what's working. Adding Sturridge to our current formation and style of attacking play won't hinder that, he'll only help us further. Don't fix what's not broken...
Fair enough Paul, but in this reply you've been far more constructive from my perspective and I should perhaps apologise for taking my frustrations out on you personally. I just can't stand posts that simply say anything from the person they choose to quote is rubbish but offer nothing as an alternative.
