@werdermouth It looked like a 4-1-4-1 for large parts at the weekend. Howson was very deep for a lot of the game, almost as a third centre-back, wit...

@deleriad We could play a 3-4-3 ala Conte's Chelsea. He had Victor Moses at wingback as well wingers who came inside and joined in with the frontman...
