    Coates, O'Shea, Kaboul

    Yedlin...... M'Villa.............. PVA

    Toi

    Lens, Borini, AJ
    ​
    I reckon that might work for us, with Yedlin and PVA help with defensive duties but not to be relied on ?

    I agree it might work - but I don't think Advocaat will play it!!

    We could rotate the front 3 as needed.

    AJ, Defoe, Lens, Borini, Watmore would all compete for those spots.

    I like the idea in principle. But any team that contains Coates anf Pva scares the **** out of me.

    Only 3 at the back? Not for me ATM. And I'd always let Catts run around and kick a few people for starters. Kaboul could take over in front of a back 4 when he gets the inevitable card.

    Looks good in principle but so does 3-5-2 which is easier to operate so long as the midfielders remembers to track back quickly.

    DA has already hinted that Catts may return at the weekend.
