OK you can larf !!.
Against Leicester , I was watching a “stream-quite good actually” – and after 65/70 mins. I thought Pozo had run his course and he was “out of position” , against 2 Championship Centre – Half s – so I thought why not bring Kolorov on in the stiker position. He has the physique. I know it would have not been an option for Pellers..I think someone just mentioned ” a false No. 9″ – Going back a few decades could this have been Revie. The Revie plan – thought up , I think by Les McDowell – mid 1950′s.
So my team would be – a 2-3-5 -
Hart – Zabba and Clichy.——Demi -Mangala – Kolorov.—–
Navas – Silva – Yaya(deep lying) – Nasri – Milner.
When Yaya scarpers off to ACN – Fernandinho can play that role. I did wonder why Ferny 1 didn’t play against Leicester – but Pellers was probably “resting” him. He has come back to form. having said all of this I cannot find a place for Ferny 2. who had a decent game last Saturday.
SUBS: Caballero, Sagna, Clichy, Fernando, Navas, Pozo, Ambrose
A rotating front 5.
Bring back the Deep Revie Boys!
Hey JGL07 - we think alike . I was typing my reply before I switched to this thread.
Edit : my reply has been "interspersed" with KUN Team. How did that happen??.

Can imagine the Press scratching their heads - Headlines like "Pellergrini invents 2-3-5 plan" ?
