without pienaar who do use think will be the most creative ?

the obvious ones are OSMAN , DRENTHE , BAINES , FELLA

but i can really only seeing baines being the one to be consistent in the game osman is good but dont think we could rely on him too much drenthe is too unpredictable and fellaini doesnt really create all that much he more links up, so my choices will be osman/baines i might of left someone out so share your views guys !
 

Leon Osman is key mate. Baines will find him on the left side of the edge of the box with an incisive pass, he'll take it on the half turn and play it back out wide for Leighton to run onto, Leighton will cross it and Tim Cahill will bullet a header into the back of the net at the near post.

Baines
Jela
Osman
Drenthe
Gueye

Are our most likely players to create something and i would start all of them on Saturday. I don't think Drenthe and Gueye will both start because one of them will have to make way for Osman so that Cahill can play ACM.
 

Different sources have different figures, but our stats for assists look something like this:

Donovan 6
Drenthe 6
Cahill 5
Fellaini 4
Osman 4
Pienaar 3
Baines 3
Gueye 3
Hibbert 2
Barkley 2
Rodwell 2

It shows that we're not as reliant on Baines and Pienaar as we may think and that Drenthe and Cahill aren't holding the side back. We're looking pretty fluent at the moment and we can create and score goals from pretty much anywhere. If Cahill was scoring with the regularity of old or someone else in the midfield was chipping in to add to Jelavic's goals we would be competing for a Champion's League place.
 
jelavic creates chances for himself with his movement in the box, something saha was failing to do earlier in the season sadly. I know thats not the only reason but we'l create more with him in there
 
One negative about having Jelavic on the pitch is that at times his height has encouraged us to hoof it forward when a short pass would be more productive. We have to take the approach we took today if we're going to win, although without Pienaar we probably should mix it up a bit more.

Osman can't carry the load in midfield by himself, so hopefully Gibson and Fellaini will be on their game when it comes to passing. We have to make sure we don't rely too much on Baines, who is going to have to be careful this game. Last time his indiscipline on the left was partly responsible for two LFC goals. Whoever plays on the left with him needs to cover him when they have the ball and not cut in every time he's getting forward.
