Everyone's Fit - Your Best 11 In A Title Winning Match

If it goes down to the wire, like some expect, and we have to beat Wolves on the final day to win yet another League title and providing everybody is fit and available (which we know isn't going to be the case) who would YOU trust as our starting XI?

It's also not a case of "but I'd bring x off the bench blah blah blah". Just a starting XI.

I don't think they'll be much difference in any of our backline, though some may throw Gomez in given his form so far this season. But I would be surprised. As for the rest of the team, I think there'll be be quite a few different choices.

For me it's

Alisson

Alexander-Arnold
Konate
Van Dijk
Robertson

Mac Allister
Endo
Jones

Salah
Jota
Diaz

I’d probably change Diaz for Nunez !

Trent - Konate - Virgil - Robbo
                  Endo
             Dom  -  MacA
    Salah   -   Jota   -  Nunez

Subs used: Gakpo, Diaz, Jones, Elliott, Gomez

              - Ali -
- Trent - Konate - Virg - Robbo -
----------- Thiago ---------------
--- Sobo ------ Macca -----------
     - Salah - Jota - Nunez -

Cant wait to see trent & thiago playing together in MF.

Trent         konate               Virg              Robbo

                               Endo

               Dom                          Jones

    Salah                 Gakpo                     Jota

But for the recent form of Jones I'd have had Mac in there instead.

- Trent - Konate - Virg - Robbo -
----------- Thiago ---------------

     - Salah - Jota - Nunez -

I think this would be my best 11

Alisson; Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Thiago, Szobo, Jones; Salah, Jota, Gakpo.

When fit he's probably 1 of our best players, unfortunately rarely fit!

Throw the cat among the pigeons..

Ali..Jomez..Konate..VVD. .Robbo...Trent...Endo..D om...Mo...Jota...Nunez.

Bradley as well comes into consideration at RB. But Joe as played himself back into form. When confident he is a formidable defender. Playing Trent in mid is probably not on the cards as if that was the thinking I don't think we would be bringing in 3 new midfield players.

Boss and coaching staff see the value of playing Trent at RB but in the 'inverted' role as almost getting 2 players for the price of one. It has it's risks obviously but it's risk/reward and I think the current thinking in on the reward benefit. My view is that we would benefit even more if we went the 'the full 9 yards' with Trent and played him as an out midfielder.

Bring on Macca, Elliot in MF if need be and have Diaz and Gakpo as attacking options up front

Was going to put Jones in place of Macca but if this is a ‘Final’ game you just can’t ignore the fact he’s a World Cup Final winner… that experience needs to be on the pitch.

A one off winner takes all 95 min final game……I’d go …..starters…



                                 Alisson
                 Trent  Konate  Virgil  Robbo
                               Bajcetic

……4-0…Champions!!!

Proper head scratcher for sure, but it gives an idea of the plethora of opinions amongst us….the brief is if everyone is fit…for me Thiago remains our best creator, so he’s in for me, Szlobos I considered but he’s no where near the level of experience Thiago has, nor his vision and passing,
On the Diaz/Nunez debate, flip of a coin really, I went Nunez cos he scares the sh*te out of defenders, and Diaz can be a bit erratic, left out one or two current regulars, Bajcetic rather than Endo, a bit controversial maybe, but he’s younger/hungrier, we’d all like a 15 a side game ideally to fit everyone in we want!!

Tough question

Imo it’s all depending on the opposition

If it was against City I would go

Allison

TAA
Konate
VVD
Robbo

Gary Mac
Dom
Jones

Nunez
Jota
Mo

Same as I picked. As for thiago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Why anyone would pick him in a do or die game is beyond comprehension. Have they learned nothing from the last 2 plus years.

Do or die I want players I can rely on.

Because if he is fit he is the best midfielder we have

This.

You think Thiago is a our best midfielder?

On the whole I think you have to go for players who are playing, in form and have got us to where we are, so for that reason I wouldn't pick Thiago, especially given the lengthy lay off (8/9 months), but by the end of the season who knows. Gets himself fit and playing regularly and he's certainly got the talent to make himself indispensable.

The title of the thread is "everyone fit...". I think that when he's fit Thiago is 1 of the best midfielders in the premier league, maybe the world; he's proved that at Liverpool and Bayern. Unfortunately, not able to stay fit for long periods in his career.

Also, he's got something that none of our other midfielders have, his passing ability is on a different level, only Trent has got vision and passing ability comparable to Thiago. Also, he's calmer on the ball when receiving a pass under pressure.

I'm not Thiago hater. I'm on record on here singing this guys praises over and over again. I love Thiago. I dunno if I would say a healthy Thiago is our best midfielder though. I've always felt Thiago made sense in some games, and didn't as much in others.

With that said, a healthy Thiago would bring a completely different dynamic to this team. A lot has changed here since he's last played. Really would be like a spark plug signing.

I'm also not against keeping him for another year, but only if he gave us a legit discount on his weekly wages.

Well thank F**k we don’t have to rely on you, read the brief ffs, it’s a one off final game to win the title, choose who you would like to play in it IF everyone is FIT to play, ideally you’d want him to have a few games under his belt and not just thrown in,

His experience would be invaluable as well as his passing & vision, what the F**k have you learnt the last two plus years ? Not a f***in lot by the looks of it ??

It's obviously a matter of opinion. Our best 11 hasn't really been defined. Could make a case for 2/3 different midfield line up's, ditto the front 3. I'm a Thiago fan. Fit and on form, bring great experience etc but I'm going in with Endo for stability, Trent killer ball, playmaking abilities, energy to get up and down, stinging shot. And Dom for his all round attacking mentality, the confidence of youth, energy and press.etc.

I'm putting Gomez in at right back, a confident Joe is a formidable defender. We need his strength at the back in this one off, just as we need Trent released from his defensive duties. Nunez in for his all round aggression and pace and influence on defenders.

Jota for his predatory skills and ability just to make that telling pass or run in build ups. But I'm not even sure the backroom staff would agree on our best 11.

Thanks mate but it didn't let me put Nunez where I actually want him so going with this as it's a one off and Jürgen will never pick it but would love to see how many goals per game we would get with this lineup. 4-4-2 for me.

This would also be my team if all players were fit and in top personal form.  This puts our best 11 players in their best positions, and in such a way that creates a nicely balanced side.

A fully fit Thiago would unleash Mac Allister in what is his best position.
No sure if we'll ever see it at this stage but that would be IMO our best midfield.

Jota up front because he's clutch and Nunez in for the chaos element his pace causes.

NB: Team no longer available

toss up between Matip & Konate for me, but now I see you have went for Matip I agree, his mad runs into midfield are legendary, another agent of chaos. l o l

100%

Thiago is one of my all time fave footballers to watch, he glides with the ball, his drop of shoulder to get past people is superb, passing is sublime and his tackling is also under rated.

Thiago is easily our most talented midfielder. The only reason I didn't go for him is DLS was asking for the strongest 11 if it boiled down to us needing to win the final game of this season.

For me I don't see a scenario where Thiago is up to speed enough to nail on a position in our strongest 11 this season.

Yep, I considered this very thought and decided to add him anyway, assuming he would indeed be fit and ready to play, as described in the brief, of course we all hope he makes his long awaited introduction a few games prior to the final countdown as it were, and indeed be up to speed, or nearest to it, we live in hope I guess!!

You can compare the stats here: https://datamb.football/midfielders/

Going off that and sticking to the brief of everyone being fit then 22/23 Thiago
bolts into the deeper role behind Szoboszlai and Mac Allister.

Would you play him as a DM Racer ?

As the 6 with Trent moving in beside him in possession, yes.

Agree mate, also gives us even more options, any combination using the mids you mentioned, basically any two of six, also opposing managers wouldn’t know whether to stick or twist, which three would they be facing, and who to play against them, we could play more solidly, or switch to attack in a instant, we all know he’s knocking on now and if we’re all honest this will be his last Hurrah probably, I hope he makes it, what a player to bring in for the run in !!
