    Rules: Player must have been part of Liverpool squad during Rafa's reign.

    Player must be a full back, or have been played as a fullback at some point.

    Keeper excluded... keeper doesn't have to be a fullback.

    Pick a starting XI.

  3. I think he means pick a five-a-sdie team using just FBs and a keeper

    ...................... Pepe .............................
    Finnan... Carragher. Dagger ..... Warnock
    Kromkamp.. Mash ...Aurelio....... Riise...
    .........................Gerrard........................
    ..................... Johnson......................

    Subs: Insua, Nunez, Traore, Dossenna

    My try:

    I think other than Johnson I have players playing in positions they all occupied at least once for Liverpool. Think Johnson could adapt to CF. Albeit a mediocre one.

    (Gerrard played at RB for Istanbul: Mash played right back on several occasions)

    Pick a starting XI using only a keeper and players who were fullbacks during Rafas reign.

    / we were discussing how Rafa signed lots of full backs and then played them all over the field in a different thread.

    Starting XI?

    Do they have to be still playing?

    Finnan, Henchoz?

    So many questions.

    I considered Doss as a striker too. Can't believe I forgot Arbeloa!

    Aurelio played centre of park on several occasions for us so, IMO, think he really needs to be centre mid ahead of fullbacks who never played in centre.

    Reina
    finnan - Josemi - carragher -Arbeloa
    Johnson - mascherano - Aurelio - Riise
    Insua - Dossena


    this is on the basis of:

    players playing in roles they all tried once or where fans keep suggesting them.... i stuck dosena up top due to his famus gaol and left insua up there cos he couldn't defend.

    my bench has kronkamp, warnock, darby and robinson

    I remember a certain player playing at right back in extra time during a certain very big match...

    --------------Reina-----------
    Arbeloa-Carragher-Traore-Aurelio
    ---------Finnan--Mascerano----
    ----Johnson--Gerrard--Riise-----
    --------------Dossena----------

    Win with set pieces.

    Bar Traore and Dossena, that would make quite a competent team.
