buildlineup.com7Tottenham vs Liverpool: Incredible Champions League final omens
But this got us thinking at talkSPORT.com, who would make a combined XI from Liverpool’s 2005 team and their current squad?Below you can see which players have made this ultimate Liverpool line-up.
Formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
Jerzy Dudek had the game of his life in Istanbul which saw him make an incredible double save to deny Andriy Shevchenko in extra-time and also force Milan into missing three penalties in the shootout.But Alisson is a world class keeper and is far more reliable than Dudek ever was at Liverpool.The Brazilian is also much better on the ball than Dudek ever was.
Getty7Defence: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jamie Carragher, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson
Jamie Carragher is the only defender from the 2005 team that makes this combined XI. He was never the greatest on the ball but he would die for the shirt and made a number of crucial tackles throughout his career.He played through the pain barrier in extra-time after getting cramp in the closing stages but was still able to keep Milan’s world class attack at bay.
Getty7Midfield: Fabinho, Xabi Alonso, Steven Gerrard
If there’s anywhere where Liverpool’s current team are arguably weak it’s in midfield.Despite Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum’s sterling performances against Barcelona, there’s no room for them in this combined XI.Fabinho and Xabi Alonso are a perfect duo in defensive midfield with the Brazilian breaking up the play of the opposition and the Spaniard spraying the ball expertly around the pitch.
Getty7Attack: Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane
And up front you have the Red Arrows – Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.The trio are one of the most dangerous front lines in world football so have to be in this combined XI.

To concede a match before the kick-off by fielding an artificially weak team is in contravention of Rule 10E in the FA handbook, which says that every club must field its strongest available team in all matches in all senior competitions. The concept that every team goes out to do their best in every match is what keeps the game honest.
