Whoever said 5-3-2

Was spot on

Can't see it workin tbh two holding midfielders as well!!

So defensive it's unreal even with John and Fabio bombing forward we will be lightweight in attack IMO

Only 3 attacking players, Kim, Bellamy and Campbell.

I don't think I was the only one who suggested it. It's probably better forFabio andJohn and presumably will let Medel get further forward. Here's hoping :ole:

That was why I reckon uber defensive. 5 2 2 1. Wing backs, 2 holding midfield players and 2 counter attackers in Bellamy and kim.

Looks like Ole got them set up for Counter-Attack

We got wing backs who can distribute the ball going forward.

most importantly we are at tottenham and they create alot of chances we have no choice than to play 5-3-2 unless you want to lose 4-0

Formation suits the players in squad. Anybody who disagrees needs a reality check. Attack,attack boll....

At Spurs we played 3-1-4-1-1: Medel played between the 3 at the back and 4 in midfield whilst Bellars played behind Campbell.

Going away to spurs and playing on a the break isn't the worst idea.

Let's be honest the squad is a mess, we have no style of play so Ole has to use what he has.

The 3 at the back should've included medel

No we need a proper defensive midfielder like Medel as the left and right centre backs will be pulled to the sidelines when the opposition break and the wing backs have pushed too far up and Medel can then help Cala in the centre. I think it worked well
