This formation from now until the end of the season.
----------------------Reina
Johnson-----Skrtel-----Coates------Enrique
--------------Spearing--Gerrard
Downing-------------Maxi------------Bellamy
------------------------Suarez
I think this needs to be done. Agger could be out for a few more games and I think Johnson is due back soon. If not play Kelly/Flanagan. Maybe it's too simple for fans to pick a team. It seems straightforward yet it seems to be a consistent failure.
Carroll should be involved I think and if he is then drop Bellamy and Maxi in place for Carroll and I'd push Johnson up to Right-Mid and slot Kelly or Flanagan in at Right-Back.
Crosses for Carroll and interplay for Suarez. The team should be built to supply the front men and suit their strengths. Oh one final point when Carroll is involved perhaps use a 4-4-2 so Suarez can play off Carroll when he isn't in the box.
I don't ever want to see Carragher at Right-Back again! Dear oh dear.
A note on Henderson, I can see his potential, he needs license to be creative from the centre, everyone is saying it so this is more like an echo. He can play clever one touch through balls to keep the pace up when he has men running off him. I've seen him do it several times.
Anyway, thoughts on that line up as a starting point for the last 9 games? Maxi is being treated like Riera was before he went. I love the guy and hate to see him shunned like this.
Dalglish is a legend, he deserves more than what has come his way. However, a lot has been spent and not a lot to show for it. That has to be how we judge. Those are my thoughts to remedy a team selection problem.

Suarez would be the channel like last year. Not left isolated. Bellamy and Downing would be his outlet.

No he deserves what he gets in management. A legendary player but a failure at too many other clubs to warrant the 'legendary' tag as a manager

"...a failure at too many other clubs,,,"
Yeah I remember thinking that when he won the league with Blackburn and then took newcastle to a runner's up spot and a cup final.........,

Suarez needs an out and out striker to play off - this was why Carroll was bought in the first place.
----------------------Reina
Kelly--------Skrtel-----Coates------Enrique
--------Gerrard--Spearing--Henderson
Downing--------------------------------Suarez
---------------------Carroll
I think would be a better line up with Bellamy and Kuyt coming off the bench if Downing and/or Suarez prove ineffective. I'd give Kelly and Coates an extended run, to help build their experience - same for Spearing and Henderson
