Where Gerrard is going to play now that he is fit
In the 2005-06 season, Gerrard spent much of his time on the right of midfield. This could again be another potential position for Dalglish to consider him in, having already shown a willingness to start Jordan Henderson, usually seen as a centre midfielder, on the right side. He did the same with Raul Meireles at times last season, and it is worth remembering that Gerrard scored 23 goals in 2005-06, as well as winning the PFA Players’ Player of the Year. Don’t forget, he has also played on the left for England, and going way back, started out his career at Liverpool as a right-back!
Of course, with Gerrard still recovering from his injury, Dalglish may not have to decide just yet. Adam, Lucas and Henderson are all fit and firing, and the Liverpool boss has expressed his desire not to rush his captain back and cause yet another injury. The decision by England boss Fabio Capello to rest Gerrard for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro was described as ‘sensible’ by Dalglish, giving the impression that there is still some concern over whether or not the player is ready to be a regular starter again just yet.
Finding a way to fit Gerrard into the team is the sort of dilemma Kenny Dalglish will relish. The fact that Liverpool have been able to start reasonably well, and now have arguably their best player over the last ten years coming back into contention will be a huge lift to all at Anfield. It demonstrates the strength in depth that has been lacking at the club in recent years, and comes as a timely boost ahead of the visit of Manchester United on October 15.

In place of the idiot Adam that’s where!
you are a dick and no fan of this club.

you fucking dick.
yeah u fucking dick, chambers
stop being a foolish fool and earn some respect otherwise I’ll come an d shove som………….
Centre Attacking Midfield
I can’t wait for the game. I hope gerrard starts too as part of a midfield 3 or as an attacking right midfield.
Since we are at home I expect an all out attack from the first whistle, we can shore things up late on in the game.
Playing 4-3-3 would give us the attacking impetus and give us lots of options late on if required.
Kelly Carra Skrtel Enrique
Kuyt Gerrard Downing
Bellamy Carrol Suarez.
Once we have frightened the mancs to death and are 3-0 up we can then rest Gerrard and resort back to a 4-4-2 with Lucas & Adam coming on and one of the front 3 joining Gerrard.
It’s ambitious but if you play defensive against United it inevitably fails as they always get a jammy goal in the 90th minute.

Not at all
This is not a ordinary match. This is the most important match of the league. therefore, there is no place for any emotion or prejudice. the team must be like that

Kelley Carra Aggar Enrique
Downing Gerrard Henderson (Lucas) Ballmey
Kuyt Surez
Ballmey is a vary important factor in the team. He is vary fast having skill he can shattered MU defence as we seen against everton. Enrique and Ballmey Combination is fatel on the left. on the right it is downing supported by kelley as right wing is a natural place of downing therefore, whenever a player play at his natural place produce is best. Surez and Kuyt must attack supported by Gerrard and Handerson from just behind. If we want to play fast attacking liverpool typee game than henderson otherwise, lucas. I think this would be a deadly combination to counter the MU any prejudice at this level will definately harm liverpool.
my best 11 4 the reds agaisnt those horrible red bastards down the east lancs rd….. pepe,back four… kelly , sir jamie,dodgy skertl,the best signing of 2011 enrique,…midfield downing.sir stevie gerro..most improved player but so dont like him lucas…kuyt… up front…big andy carroll…and the magican little luis…..
