Little and Shaw could both play inside forward type role. McParland is in as he varied between forward and winger so would suit a five up front formation, Hunter is playing in a free role.
I would play the tight 3 in midfield away from home, but have an attacking player in the hole for majority of home games and lets be honest, Liverpool are a decent team like us but are missing their best player, surely we should go for it and not worry about them

When everyone is fit and in good form which starting eleven do you see being our best this season.Guzan - one of our best players last season, is still young too, Given is a good backup to have.Okore - His pace could be important and will hopefully be a little less prone to errors than Clark (who I also think has promise).Vlaar - Think he was unlucky last season due to injury and the fact that we had a very unsettled back line. See him growing into a Martin Laurson type leader.Luna - His pace coming from deep gives us a different options on the break.Lowton - A more hard working and tidy player who could compliant Luna very well.Sylla - Its early to say, but can see him as our Roy Keane enforcer type, think he is a good passer and will score a few goals too.Depth - Another hard worker with pace, impressive start to the season, will grow in confiderence the more he plays.Westwood/Albrighton/Bacuna - Am a bit on the fence here as I think we need a bit more of a bust of pace and old school style winger which Albrighton gives us but then with the front three maybe that takes care of that problem. Westwood had a promising first season but do see him as one whose form will be hit and miss so I do see a place for Albrighton at times. Bacuna is another tradition winger, don't know a great deal about him but expect him to play a part as the season moves on.Agbonlahor - Great start to the season.Benteke - No brainer.Weimann - A flexible player who fits well into our style of play and can be good both going forward and working back. Should get roughly nine or ten goals, but again will consider other options such as Albrighton, Helenius if his form dips.
This would be ideal!NeuerAlves, Badstuber, Kompany, LahmKroos, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, BaleMessi, Ronaldo

Tricky, quick, tight little passing footballers even without Suarez. I know some people don't exactly want counter attacking football at home but against some teams I'd be more than happy for it to be used.
