Merseyside 11

Howard*
LFC Jags-Heitinga-Baines
Pienaar-Fellaini-Gibson-Sterling(potentially -I'm being generous but the rest aren't up to much anyway)
Suarez-Jelavic

If we go all Brentan Rodgers 4-3-3 that drops Sterling for Mira11as.

LFC are so gash they only get Suarez (their best player), a right back (since Kelly or Johnson are half-decent & I'm feeling generous) & one midfielder. If you don't believe me try Statto.com which has us as the 5th best team in the PL right now whereas LFC are struggling at 14th best (projected final position).

*Reina has been gash for 2-3 years
 
Obviously too much bias going on :

Reina
Kelly
Agger
Heitinga
Baines
Pienaar
Fellaini
Lucas
Gerrard
Suarez
Jelavic
 
no love for Sahin? He's probably the best Central Mid between these 2 teams.

GK:Howard
LB:Baines
CB:Heitinga
CB:Agger
RB:Johnson
LM: Pienaar
RM:Sterling
CM:Sahin
CM:Gerrard
CF:Suarez
CF:Jelavic
 

Reina vs Howard - despite Reinas current form, I think he beats Howard on ability.

Johnson vs Hibbert/Neville/Coleman - no contest. Johnson is one of the best right backs in the PL.
Skrtel vs Heitinga/Jagielka - pretty even. Can't really decide.

Agger vs Distin - I'd take Agger. One of the best and most composed ball playing CBs around.

Enrique vs Baines - I'd take Baines even though I don't rate Baines defensively. Great delivery though. Enrique started off superbly but his form has been very dodgey lately.

Lucas vs Gibson - Lucas, one of the best DMs in the EPL.

Allen vs Fellaini - pretty even if you ask me, Allen is a superb little player, as is Fellaini on his day.

Gerrard vs Osman - Gerrard, no contest.

Suarez vs Mirallas - Suarez, no contest.

Jelavic vs Borini - Jelavic.

Sahin vs Pienaar - can't really compare as both play different positions, although if I had to chose one I'd take sahin on footballing ability.

If I had to make an 11 from the two teams:

--------------Reina--------------

-Johnson---?---Agger---Baines-

-----------Allen/Lucas-----------

--------Sahin-----Fellaini/Allen-

-------------Gerrard-------------

---------Jelavic-----Suarez------

4-4-2 diamond shape.......

mate i've watched joe allen's whole career, from his debut, there is not in hell's chance he is close to fellaini. he's great on the ball, but doesn't do an awful lot with it. you won't see players scared of allen like they are of felli. gibson ****s all over lucas as well, when does lucas even play?
 
Darron Gibson is like a premier league adapted and more effective version of Sahin, no word of a joke, so he'd get in my team ahead of Sahin, not that I don't think Sahin is ace, I just think Gibson is more ace.

Lucas is injured right now mate that's why he's not playing. The thing about Allen is I think everybody needs a player like him in their team. Someone who keeps the ball and just never gives it away. Look at Busquets for Barca, he never sets the world alight but he's vital to their team and his presence allows Messi, Iniesta etc to express themselves. Really rate Allen mate think he has got the potential to be a cracking player.....
 
Cardinal18, I am convinced you are a Kopite.

Welcome to the site, I agree with some of what you said about some of your players V ours. But Allen V Fellaini comparison is comical.

Joe Allen is not even in the same planet as Fellaini, in every single aspect of Football.

Mate Lucas is boss at cheering the team on from the sidelines
 
Reina vs Howard - despite Reinas current form, I think he beats Howard on ability.
But form is what matters if you're picking a team right now.

Johnson vs Hibbert/Neville/Coleman - no contest. Johnson is one of the best right backs in the PL.
If being a right back amounts to nothing more than bombing forward, losing the ball and then watching your team defend, then yes. Hibbert and Neville both defend better than Johnson, but I grant you he's better than both of them going forward.

Skrtel vs Heitinga/Jagielka - pretty even. Can't really decide.
Skrtel? He plays like a pokemon, which is somewhat appropriate given his name.

Agger vs Distin - I'd take Agger. One of the best and most composed ball playing CBs around.
See, what you've done hear is disingenious. Distin and Agger would make a very good partnership; why pick one when you could take them both ahead of all the other CB contenders? Oh, because you want Squirtel in the team. lol.

Enrique vs Baines - I'd take Baines even though I don't rate Baines defensively. Great delivery though. Enrique started off superbly but his form has been very dodgey lately.
Yes. Baines looked AWFUL defensively against United, Villa and WBA didn't he. Errrrr nope.

Lucas vs Gibson - Lucas, OR one of the best DMs in the EPL.
Fixed that for ya.

Allen vs Fellaini - pretty even if you ask me, Allen is a superb little player, as is Fellaini on his day.
On what planet? Don't take it personally, but I won't ask you. your opinion appears to be fuelled by liberal doses of crazy.

Gerrard vs Osman - Gerrard, no contest.
On this, sadly, we agree.

Suarez vs Mirallas - Suarez, no contest.
Time will tell. Would you take a bet on who will score more in the prem this year?

Jelavic vs Borini - Jelavic.
Again, to early to tell. Jelavic has a body of work in the prem, Borini is still using an atlas to find out where several of the other prem teams are.

Sahin vs Pienaar - can't really compare as both play different positions, although if I had to chose one I'd take sahin on footballing ability.
But if we're trying to pick a team, why compare two guys who play different positions for the purpose of selecting one? How about Jags v Downing? Or Howard v Agger?

If I had to make an 11 from the two teams:

--------------Reina--------------

-Johnson---?---Agger---Baines-

-----------Allen/Lucas-----------

--------Sahin-----Fellaini/Allen-

-------------Gerrard-------------

---------Jelavic-----Suarez------

But the OP set the terms: straight 442.

I like how you put Osman in over Pienaar and put Fellaini down the wing.
 
no love for Sahin? He's probably the best Central Mid between these 2 teams.

What's that based on? One good season in the Bundesliga?

Obviously didn't show enough for Madrid to want to keep him. He looks ok on the youtube videos I've seen but we need to wait and see.

GK:Howard/Reina - Can't choose
LB:Baines
CB:Heitinga
CB:Agger
RB:Johnson
LM: Pienaar
RM:Mirallas
CM: Gibson
CM: Fellaini
CF:Suarez
CF:Jelavic

Why would we pick a player who only played once in the premiership, that would be mental.
