The 'diamond' formation is very narrow and defensively orientated and looking at how we have lined up so far in pre-season seems to be Mancini's preferred system. Adam Johnson and Shaun Wright-Phillips will be there to give us a the option of bringing on a wingers against opposition who are stiffling our threat through the centre and I personally think Bellamy (if he stays) we be used more as a pacy striker than a wide player.
