Leaves you short at the back no ?
he'd be more likely to play 3 at the back, with agger going forward when we have the ball. i think aagger is one of the best centre backs in the league, but an utterly unknown quantity as a defensive midfielder. agger doesn't have the chase the ball, he doens't have to win it back, he lets players come onto him, and that's not how a defensive midfielder works. also, our defence would be compromised with carra back in it. we're weaker in midfield as a result of lucas's injury, sticking agger in there makes us weaker in defence too. get carra back into central midfield, it's where he started.
failing that, jay s deserves a run, he was good last year.

Ah now c'mon a lad in his mid thirties who hasn't played in midfield for donkeys years ? do you want him to have a heart attack ?
I'm not sure if playing 3 at the back is a great idea in the long run, most sides in the league only play with 1 up front (or 3)* so in effect you've got 3 marking 1 (or 3 marking 3, which is just as bad) Also, in that sitation you're giving your fullbacks licence to get forward which is grand for Johnson as he does that anyway with Kuyt covering or Henderson not really being a wide player and tucking into the middle but on the left it doesn't leave much room for Downing/Enrique. And with the fullbacks attacking you might need a defensive midfielder too to drop back and cover when one of the wide CB's is pulled out wide, someone like Lucas ... whose injury is the reason for the proposed formation shift.
I do think in Kelly and Agger you've got the centre backs to play with 3 though.
* Stoke, Spurs sometimes, Man City on rare occasions, Newcastle play with a front 2, anyone else?
jayses, wasn't it obviously a joke?
i wouldn't advocate 3 at the back myself, this isn't scicily. i was just saying, if you're gonna get agger in the midfield, that's how.
that game was fucking rigged. it's a racket. hit the post twice, have a peno denied, have an onside goal chalked off as offside, have a player harshly sent off and lose because pepe reina spills a fucking girl of a shot at him. for fuck sake. the game is rigged, yo, that was fucking robbery.
liverpool need to buy a striker who can score goals in january. this andy carroll thing isn't working out.
agreed. what the fuck does senderos have to do to get a second yellow? they were kicking suarez off the pitch. I'm never really convinced by referee conspiracy tales but that was fucking weird.
carroll however is a shower of shite. what a fucking joke of a football player.
Carroll was poor enough again last night. Had a couple of chances pulled back across the box that he could have nailed. Fluffed his lines both times. Thing is, I started thinking he was shit as well but then checked out all his goals for Newcastle. He showed incredible strength and hunger back then and he was banging them in. Headers, pile drivers, tap ins. It's reasonable to suggest that an immature 21 year old could suffer a serious headfuck with a price tag of 35 mil. I don't think you can lose the ability to climb over defenders and meet crosses, or hold the ball up well and set things up. But...if his head's not in the right place then the rest won't follow. The only positive for him at the moment is that there's probably nobody better than Kenny to set him straight.
That's all true, but the only response is that it was a huge mistake to buy a kid like him, for that kind of money, without at least getting some sort of psych profile done to be sure he'd cope.
you could be onto something there..maybe he should move in with carragher, get some manners put on him. i'd say jamie runs a tight ship.Even without that there was plenty of evidence that he was far from a model pro. Wasn't he made to live in Kevin Nolan's box room after being charged with assaulting an ex?
