I wonder whether MH may be contemplating a 3-5-2 formation with the attacking wing-backs it would be workable...
With him and Fabio, MH will definetely be using them as Wing Backs......they are both athletic and fast and can bang the crosses in for old Bobby to nod in!
More importantly, who is going to be in charge of the plate of orange quarters at half time?
Too risky surely?

I dont know, its a 532 when we dont have the ball and it would allow Taarabt to play in the middle but then we cant play any of the gazillion wide players we have.
It is...but 3 at the back is a notoriously difficult system for players and especially the centre backs to get used to!
I'm hoping we will see 4-2-3-1 used a lot as this will also allow Taarabt some freedom. A lot of options though with the squad we're putting together.
A 4231 probably wont work with Cisse and therese no place for him but its ideal for all our attacking midfielders. Zamora is a doubt so we might have to go to it by default.

I think a 3 of Park, Taarabt and Hoilett behind Cisse would work just fine.

Think Park would be part of the 2 with no Faurlin and maybe no Diakite. Im not sure Cisse can play up front on his own. Its more suited to a HH, Zamora, Carroll type of player.
Cisse commented a few weeks ago in an official interview that he wouldn't mind playing out wide as he did a couple of times towards the end of last season, which might suggest 4-5-1, but with so many wide players it's hard to imagine what we will end up playing. But I can't see us leaving out Cisse very often, he's just too deadly up front.
