You were right, good job!

I''m glad that Lambert is changing the team to suit the game. I think adaptability is so important in the Premier League.

[Legend Iwan 30]

With them playing so narrow Naughton and Tierney really need to push high as wingbacks.

Indeed he is... credit where credit''s due.....

Does BB know what the fulltime score will be as im about to place my bets, cheers!!! :)

Well thats annoying (not that BB got it right, i only doubted him because i thought this formation would be wrong to use) why against one of the best teams in the world, would you change your system, to something thats only been used in one/two competitive games and didn''t work?

I don''t think we will get anything using this formation, unless Hoolahan has a very good game.

[Mister Chops 7]

[quote user="BB"]Our formation will be 532 with the team as

Ruddy

Naughton Barnett whitbread da Leat tierney

Johnson hoolahan crofts

C.Martin Holt

Don''t expect many believers but this is realiable. Like the formation gives up strength in defence and we can push our full backs forward and get in behind them on the break where west brom got to them.[/quote]Hey, I never doubted you for a second. [H][B]

[ZLF 271]

could it still be the diamond, naughton being wide right midfield and de laet right back?  or 4-3-3 with naughton crofts and johnson across the middle?  plenty of AVB to think about!

[ZLF 271]

3-5-2/5-3-2This is exactly how Dalglish set Liverpool up to play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the spring, worked really well from what I remember. Hoolahan is key.FISTS!
