We play 4-2-3-1
Either way - the only diff is the wide men, still wouldnt say Gerrard has played as an AM most of this season
Congratulations to Liverpool

This season he has appeared to be playing more as the "2" in a 4-4-2 than anything else this season
but we can agree to disagree
I don't think he's played as an out and out striker all season.
He's deffo played the "shadow" striker role, so just behind Torres and he's deffo being playing a central attacking midfield with Kuyt and Reina ? on the right and left side.

So we only play with 2 midfielders?
He's never played right up top alongside Torres in a 4-4-2. He's played 2/3's of the season as 1 of 3 behind Torres and early in the season (because of injuries and the Olympics) he played as 1 of a 2 man central midfield.
Sorry, I don't get your point here? I wasn't talking about 50 years ago, I was talking about the modern game. Where quite frankly Liverpool are a long way behind Chelsea, Arsenal, and Utd. Frankly, since the Premier League formed Liverpool have been a second rate team.
Sorry they don't have a good squad on paper? When gerrard decides to play fairly he can be one of the best in the world. And did they not buy Torres, who happened to be one of the most in form strikers?
Why is "recent history" not important? Surely that is their current form? Notts Forest won in Europe in 1980. Does that mean they are better than Man Utd now then? Obviously you are right. Liverpool won everything 50 years ago so they must be the best team now as well.
Didn't argue this? Again History, nice in a trophy cabinet but doesn't win games in 2009 does it?
LOL. Yes Wenger used to be as arrogant as hell partly for being a ***** and partly because he was sort of entitled to seeing as Arsenal raped everyone at one stage. But he has learned from his mistakes and he is one of the most respectable managers now and will always congratulate the other team and accept defeat (just like Fergie, Mourinho, Hiddink, ...)
Benitez not arrogant? Won't even bother with that one.
Yes. 90% footballers dive. It is getting ridiculous. Drogba looks like a complete idiot half the time when he towers over most other players and still manages to hit the deck. But he doesnt fall over for no reason. He makes the most of being pushed about when really he should be smacking them back and getting on with it. Gerrard trips over thin air. Just youtube it before you argue.
Maybe. But to be honest I think the 4th contender is more likely to be Man City after a £500m spending spree or Harry Houdini's revamped Spurs.
Neither am I.
Thanks and to be totally honest I'd completely forgotten about hargreaves
I forgot you even had him. Like Torres at liverpool I hope you can get him fit and playing because we never really got much more than glimpse of how good he could be for your lot. That will be a big bomus to have him back.Personally I'm suprised you haven't come in for cahill, I think he would be a great utility player to fill in at united and wouldn't complain about being worth 30 million and not playing every game. Both him and arteta I worry about Fergie making a claim for.

Quite an appropriate nickname for a manager that'll do a disappearing act when the going gets tough
Good man
I wasn't on about that. That wasn't a lack of class, this was just stupidity. All the best teams get knocked out of all competitions and finish runners up.
Apart from his comments about Man.U. winning the PL he also said this:
He's an idiot, he's spent more than Arsenal and Man.U. have on players since he's been in charge.
Perhaps he's trying the Fergie approach to football facts now, ie if he says it the supporters think it must be true

Benitez has done the impossible and gone above Wenger in my most disliked managers, what a ****

He commented on Man Utd spending more earlier in the season at which point is was proven wrong, yet he brought it back up again. Like his famous 'fachts' that were just blatent bull****.

Proven wrong? Think it was Fergie who got that one wrong.
The thing is though as I said, there are 10's of Liverpool fans who will think what he says is true.
Sky had Benitez as being wrong too.

What did he say that was wrong? We can't compete financially, we make far less money than Utd and Arsenal because of the stadiums.
And Utd have spent far more than us.
As for congratulating Ferguson. Why should he? He congratulated Utd as a Club which is far more than most Liverpool fans would do
And as we all know, Sky know **** all. Every where that reported Fergies 'rant' said he was completely wrong.
edit: Nokkon, you talk about Benitez not having any class, what did you think about the BS Fergie and Fat Sam came out with after Rafa's 'game-over' jesture? You also said Kuyt lacked class for taking the **** after we scored our 3rd vs Hull, what about Evra doing the same thing vs Wigan?
