4-3-3 going forward with Gerrard supporting the front 3, with Lucas and Allen protecting the back four. Also, it means we defend high up the pitch using our fowards. Formations should not be taken at face value anyhow. A 4-3-3 attacking formation can easily morph into a 4-5-1 when being pegged back.  I just think that sitting back and inviting City forward is fatal.

I saw a proposed formation earlier which listed 5 actual midfielders in Henderson, Shelvey, Gerrard, Allen and Lucas. The problem with this is not only are they all better players in the centre of the park, we also do not have to pace to counterattack. Having forwards like Borini and Suarez track back to midfield at least means we'll have the pace to hit them on the counter, beating the offside trap. There is little point in chocking the midfield when we have no outlets when gaining possession of the ball. Suarez and Borini or both adept at making runs in behind defences.

I am puzzled and do not understand why people and commentator keep on talking about Swansea. 

Swansea ended the season last year at 11th place with 47 points,  while Liv finished at 7th.
So if history repeat, mean Liv finishing at 11th, all smiling comes the end of season? 

I still rmb seson away, man utd / arsenal and u all is fighting over this adam,  lol. and so fast he is sold.

A choice of words. a person that uses the word soccer doesn't mean that he's any less football loving than the rest. Pls provide details and explanation to #fact. Thanks.

i don't know really... I've been reading soccernet since '94 and not footballnet 

Let's not equate with American football, they may not have a different name for the game, i could be wrong and to call it 'hand egg' would be disrespectful and I wouldn't even think of doing so out of respecft for the game. As what I've said earlier it's really a choice of word, it we don't like the word football or soccer, we can also describe the game as ... "a game comprising of 2-teams with 11 players on each side with 2-goal post and a ball and .......... that'll be mouthful. 

I wouldn't even wanna start to debate on the term, as far as I understnd  it means the same until one Mr. Know Everything about soccer,  oops football ..... comes round with all the football knwoledge with a one line comment. Have a nice day.
