    settled into this back 5 now

    judging by our squad we have the flexibility to do it

    do wonder though if the diarra injury has made us play that formation? or would we play 532 with him?

    Interesting.

    I watched the warm ups in the last 2 games, Hume was warning up with the midfielders and forwards while the rest of the defence went through their preparations separately. I think it's a back 5 defending but Hume is going into midfield going forward

    He plays more the Mukiele role for northern Ireland, but either side. LCB or RCB in a 3.

    yep he is

    but when diarra was fit it was more 442 out of possession, or 451.

    either way in what ever formation we play we pack the centre, force teams wide and welcome balls into the box because we gobble it up

    Kinell man! I've been walking on air all day anyway, this just made my soul soar and my liver and work ambitions for tomorrow morning curl up in in a ball on the floor and start rocking back and forth. <laugh>

    Tremendous. Thanks!

    Onwards to the music thread!

    Keys banging on about endangering players? But its fine at ground where they are that close cause they don't have the room to go any further? **** off! If the rules is 1m it's 1m can't complain cause we have more space!

    Notice it didn't effect our long throws though!
