But if all three of our main centerbacks are healthy, and Lucas continues to suck, and god forbid something happens to Aquiliani (never will spell his name right) I think it's a short term option. No crazier than when we have had to play Carra in the position in the past (obviously too old for it now). Or if Mascherano gets a red or hits the yellow limit (lets be honest, it'll be a damn miracle if one of the two doesn't happen), I'm not sure if I would rather trust Spearing or Plessis in the more tackling midfielder role.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-60049922106280312982009-08-29T19:19:15.552-04:002009-08-29T19:19:15.552-04:00I'm with Marlon.

If anyone, it's Aurelio, and I still don't think it's likely.<br /><br />Just get Agger back into the team (and plz stay healthy, Danny).natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-58137223627754872852009-08-29T18:50:59.553-04:002009-08-29T18:50:59.553-04:00I don't think we'll ever see Rafa play Agg...I don't think we'll ever see Rafa play Agger as a central midfielder, and honestly I'm not sure he should play there. How much sense does it really make to take one of the best young defenders around and turn him into a midfielder? I also have trouble imagining an Agger - Mascherano or Agger - Lucas middle pairing being very fruitful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-55983862001973578112009-08-29T15:40:18.219-04:002009-08-29T15:40:18.219-04:00I wouldn't be shocked if we saw a defender mov...I wouldn't be shocked if we saw a defender moved into the playmaker role. But I don't think it will be Aurelio, I think it will be Agger. I'm pushing really hard for this to happen (assuming Carragher can settle down and Skrtel stops getting punched in the face). His passing is incredible and he can certainly lock down the midfield if need be.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-36793699544130345892009-08-29T15:38:05.913-04:002009-08-29T15:38:05.913-04:00Yeah, I realized that this morning, Yowie.

I thought about deleting it, but it's another reminder that I often don't know what I'm talking about.<br /><br />Second, Liverpool's always patiently prodded along the backline. It's just more noticeable this season because there's no Alonso to unlock the defense with a 60-yard ball. Maybe that means Aurelio will get a chance, but I doubt it. I think he'd only fill in there if there are injuries, like against Pompey last season (btw, was it just me, or was today's game a lot like last season's 3-2 over Pompey?).natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-56363630701352607712009-08-29T15:06:10.888-04:002009-08-29T15:06:10.888-04:00Thanks Shaun.Thanks Shaun.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-12126966084088240582009-08-29T14:36:15.713-04:002009-08-29T14:36:15.713-04:00El Zhar hasnt recovered from his injury in the pre...El Zhar hasnt recovered from his injury in the preseason friendly...everybody is focusing on our creativity...but i think our defence really needs to be sorted out first.Shaun Lohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414959462139843400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-12346940100151885112009-08-29T14:35:29.251-04:002009-08-29T14:35:29.251-04:00is it just me, but is a lot of our play in our own...is it just me, but is a lot of our play in our own half this season. like i mean passing side to side between defenders and midfielders. lucas and masch have to try harder to find players longer out wide because carragher is def not a passer as much as he tries. im not sure if this is too outrageous but wen aurelio is fit do u reckon he can play the deep lying midfielder role like he once did last season? oh yeh and on ur previous post diouf plays for blackburn now right?yowie11noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-58522345864314059792009-08-29T13:24:09.891-04:002009-08-29T13:24:09.891-04:00Another omission from the team this year has been ...Another omission from the team this year has been El Zhar, I don't know if he's hurt or what but he had some great sub performances last year.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-42956282660852696442009-08-29T13:07:49.116-04:002009-08-29T13:07:49.116-04:00I love my readers.
