Nah as much as Carragher is a great servant of Liverpool, I think he's on his last legs now.

If you go with that formation - better to go Coates

perfect team for the cup final. the way to defeat 3-4-3 is to use the width. chelsea play with no width. we channel all their threat into the middle of the pitch where we flood the midfield, then we hit them on the counter attack

If we're meant to be playing counter-attacking football, why isn't Bellamy starting in any of those teams?

Surely his pace is the best counter-attacking threat we have...

I'll agree if you can find me any team ever that has won a trophy using 3 at the back.

Maybe Ajax in the early 90's. Cannot think of another.

I suggested that formation after the QPR game and got crucified for it. Especially by TOOR.....oh the shock!

We have the players for it and if you going to use that formation then the midfield doesnt need any width, so Downing will have to be omitted.

Not to forget that Juve have been using it frequently this season as well.

Barca have used it a lot as well.

And anyway, their 433 is only like that when defending.

When in position it shifts to more or less a 343...

---------------------Valdes-------------------
---------Masc-----Pique-------Puyol-----
Alves-----------Busquets------------------
--------------Xavi-----------------------------
-------------------------Iniesta-------Pedro
---------Sanchez-------Messi-------------

...is a rough idea of what they are like in attack.
