well how about, seeing as everyone keeps trying to work out how SWP gets in the team, we play 3-4-3 with Toure, Lescott and Terry as a centre back 3 with a left sided, right sided and central, and then use SWP and Bridge as a kind of wingback with Barry and Ireland in the middle, then Robbie, Ade/RSC, Tevez as the attackiing 3.
Now that of course is completely hypothetical and certainly not for every game but it could certainly work in some and would be a frightening prospect for the opposition ! Not a formation I would recommend but certainly close to the 3-5-2 that has been deployed by people in the past ?
