That'll leave room for 3 in the middle and stevie can slot in behind the 2 strikers.
Reina
Carrager Hyypia Palleta/Agger
Alves Aurelio
Momo StevieG Xabi
Crouch/Robbie Bellamy
That looks good enough for me
yeah i like this but where does speedy fit in to it though?
Interesting formation that worked for us very well in a match last season. If (hopefully not) Kewell leaves, this formation could be used with gonzales coming off the bench for one of the centre backs
That looks a very strong exciting formation (Gonzales has played wingback so could also be used) The only problems would be a lack of cover in midfield (if Hamann does go) a lack of cover for the right side(if Alves were injured suspended etc.) and a lack of a second targetman. Things are starting to look really good for next season now. A couple of quality signings and I think we have a real chance of EPL title. I would really like Rafa to use that formation in a lot of games next season.
Yeah that's my worry too if we decide to use this formation.... cover in central midfield.... Finnan, Riise, Gonzalez, Krompkamp can all be used for cover in the wingbacks position or even revert back to a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 should injuries become a factor.
We need a Yahaya Toure to beef up the midifield strength....
Wishful thinking I know...
But the formation relies a lot on us Alves and Aurelio..... without quality wing-backs, it'll all fall down like a house of cards around our ears..
