I do, but at the moment VDV and Gylfi don't play together, I propose they do!
Me too. 4-2-3-1 abandons some width so our most creative players need to play. That is the reason I think bale might end up at LB as removing width from his game nullifies him somewhat for me
I can't disagree with this, benny has hardly set the world alight with his crossing. So perhaps like madrid, use bale when attacking (like they use marcelo) and use benny when we will need to be more defensively sound (ala coentrao).
At present, don't believe that the addition of Ade & Siggy will be enough to propel us into the top four.
Without a class central creative midfielder to link up play between our defence and attack we are going nowhere.
Two defensive midfielders does not work for us, the number of times we played Sandro & Parker in there and looked all at sea last season was staggering, and Livermore is not as good as either.
Even in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation one of the two needs to be able to pick a pass not just negate the midfield/attack of the other team.
Sorry, but without a 'put your foot on the ball, get your head up and play it' midfielder we are likely to draw more games than we win (although we are also more likely to draw more games than we lose with this set-up too) IMHO
