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.
Nasri in the Don Revie role as a deep lying centre forward?

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" ?

Navas--------------Lampard---------Nasri----

LOL.
The time for introducing the likes of Ambrose, Pozo etc. is not in these must win games, but in the Capital One Cup (alright that opportunity was missed) and the FA Cup (opportunity coming up), and as subs in the event that we've built up a big lead in League games.
Well Pellegrini obviously doesn't agree considering Pozo has been the main striker the past two games...
 
We might get to see Ambrose when we play Sheffield Wednesday but no chance he will play a part in the next lot of Premier League fixtures before hand.

Yes, but not by design. I'm sure the plan was to possibly give him ten minutes at the end, if things looked comfortable, but successive injuries to Kun and Edin early on forced Pellegrini's hand. I'd be very shocked to see Pozo start when there's time to organize an alternative.
