theformationnerd123That formation might work and i think its good for livepool and carra is more on the right as you can see for attacking and deffending this is a 4-4-1-1 formation, in my opinion its a good formation for livepool. What do you think?

Robert O'Carlos4-4-1-1 is a decent formation that's easily adaptable to various different systems, so thumbs up from me.
:-D
The only questions I'd have is whether the players fit the system. Hyypia is too old and makes too many mistakes now. Mascherano must surely get in ahead of Lucas. Babel and Kuyt are forwards by nature - not sure how effective they'd be if asked to sit back a little more. Might consider the left sided Riera.
Not too far from a defensive version of Liverpool's 4-2-3-1. Looks a reasonable layout to me.
Are you thinking that the wide midfielders would look to play more crosses than making runs? How involved would the central midfielders be?

nvrLiverpool's problems are squad management problems rather than formation problems, me thinks. Look at poor Robbie Keane, he was on fire, scoring crucial goals, contributing meaningfully for the first time since he made his switch...And the gods of rotation decide that it is his turn to warm the bench. You could see the frusturation in his face during the game. Now nobody will care as Liverpool won 5-1 away, but we have seen them dropping points where they could have won because of suboptimal squad selections. This may start to bite again in the second half of the season.

Robert O'CarlosNever a true word spoken, Nvr.
Can't get my head round Benitez's thinking on Keane at all.
