So after a few pre seasons games, what would you consider Liverpool's strongest XI be? I would go for:

Reina

Finnan
Carragher
Agger
Riise

Pennant
Alonso
Masherano
Babel

Gerard

Torres

[stiffler]

I think Pennant showed enough in the last 10 games of last season to warrant a position in the strongest 11.

I hear what your saying about the 4-4-1-1 formation, not a great fan of it myself, but i feel it would be hard to leave alonso out of the team. Its hard to know who is going to be the ideal partner for Torres, but I suppose there still is time with plenty of friendlies left before the real action starts

[JimStynes]

Would you not have stevie g in before Masherano stiffler

[stiffler]

Of course Stevie has to play, and its fair to say that he plays better in the central role. its just liverpool have alot of talent in the middle of the pitch, very hard to choose between mascherano/alonso/sissoko/Lucas. Thats why i suggested playin Xabi and Javier central with Stevie G pushed on forward

[JimStynes]

I think Kuyt and Torres would be a good partnership. Is Kuyt injured or anything, havnt heard much about him in a while. I still cant see liverpool winning the premiership to be honest though.

[stiffler]

Na hes not injured, played the 2nd half today and looked lively. Don't think he scores enough goals, however he could be a new player playing alongside El Nino.

Strongest Liverpool Squad in 20 years. The only trouble with that is the oppostion are stronger than they have been in the last 20 years also.

I like the looks of Voronin

Do you usually go for the eastern European pony tailed porn stars?

i see that we are being linked with a defensive midfielder garcia from real madrid on skysports.com cant understand the logic especially when we require a defender and or left back(heinze).in regards to the strongest side think the keeper and back four pick themselves, i think we need 2 up front as against the bigger teams we w ill struggle for goals with 4-4-1-1. gerrard would be the only real threat running in2 the box.i agree with stiflers thoughts on pennant.good towardss end of season and has been doing well this preseason.mascherano has to play and io would say the same for alonso.babel would be expected to start as we dont have much else in that department.kuyts work ethic real impresses me but crouch causes more problems imo.torres will obviously start the big games.

[gawa316]

It is near impossible to pick our best team, but at the minute I would go for

Reina
Finnan, Carra, Agger, Riise
Gerrard, Alonso, Masch, Babel
Torres, Kuyt

The main thing is though we can change our team in so many different ways. Pennant can come in on the right for a more orthodox winger, Benayoun can play right/left/behind main striker, Crouch can be used as a target player, Sissoko brings energy, of what I've seen in pre-season Vorinen is a valuable addition who again brings something different. The options and strength in depth are there so here's hoping for the season

Jeez Louise, have yis all missed the pre-season games?

No chance of Babel being ahead of Benayoun or Kewell based on performances so far. Yossi and Harry didnt do a whole heap yesterday, but still far better than what Babel did when he played. And Benayoun was very good against Auxerre and good against Bremen. Of course, presumably Babel will improve when he settles in, and all three will see their fair share of action.

For the Chelsea game which is early in the season, I think we'll see Gerrard and Pennant on the wings, with Torres and Kuyt up-front.

Arbeloa is going to be putting a lot of pressure on Finnan and Riise this year.

I like it. At least it doesn't look like it came out of an IKEA flatpack box like nearly all the modern stadia like City of Manchester, Emirates, etc. They all look the same.

Bit of individuality about it. Especially with the huge new Kop end.

State of the art.... looks unreal
