JOHN ALDRIDGE: Martin Kelly key to making my current Liverpool FC team tick

EVERYONE has ideas about what Liverpool's best starting line up should be and what system would get the best out of the players.[LNB]Personally I'd like to see Glen Johnson pushed forward with Martin Kelly behind him at right-back, as I think that would improve us as an attacking force and bolster the defence.[LNB]We have conceded too many goals from wide areas in the last couple of league games and that is something that needs to be rectified.[LNB]You have got to stop the ball coming in to the box at all times and a couple of clean sheets would do wonders for the confidence.[LNB] If you had Kelly and Johnson on the right, Dirk Kuyt could slot in behind Fernando Torres and have Joe Cole on the left with Steven Gerrard and Raul Meireles in the middle - a winning combination?[LNB]Reds can be Dutch masters[LNB]HAVING started Group K with a bang, it would be great if Liverpool can maintain their impetus in the Europa League by beating FC Utrecht.[LNB]It won't be easy because the Dutch side will be looking to grab their first win and I've no doubt they will be roared on by a lively crowd on Thursday.[LNB]But I keep thinking what it would be like for Liverpool to go all the way in the Europa League and the idea of playing the final in Dublin has long since captured my imagination.[LNB]What a day that would be if we got there and I'm convinced we are capable of getting to the final.[LNB]First, though, we have got to make sure we progress to the knockout stages and three points in Utrecht would go a long way to making sure we achieve that particular goal.
