Guzan, Lowton, Bennett, Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Westwood, Delph, N'Zog, Benteke, Gabby

I see this as either Clark, Delph, and Westwood midfield in a 4-3-3, or 4-4-2 with Zog and Bennett out wide.
I bloody hope so, 5 at the back puts too much presure on

Looks like were going for a backs to the wall counter attacking approach tonight.

5 at the back with Delph and Westwood sat in front of them and a quick counter attack of Gabby, N'Zogbia and Benteke.

Essentialy it solves our problem of having a poor midfield, don't play with one, have 7 defenders and 3 attackers.

I reckon we should go 6-6-4. We might win more that way.

I hope Clark is in the midfield.

Me too.

I mean I hope that, too, rather than me being in midfield.

Although, to be honest, I don't see how the midfield would be in any way weakened if I were.

The full backs need to push on with that formation.

Problem with Bennett is everyone has realised he's so shit he can just have the ball as he's guaranteed to give it away and we become even more outnumbered in midfield.

Three at the back with Bennett at left-back is asking for all sorts of trouble.

I hope that idiot Lambert isn't going 5 at the back again, it just doesn't work.

Clark as Anchor man would work.Sit in front of the centre backs and protect them. Not sure 352 is the way to go.
