Actually Mark I think it's an awful system. For every 6-2 win we've managed with it there's been 5 matches where we've struggled to ever have a shot on goal and needed to switch to a more conventional format. If two defensive midfielders is so great, why did Real wipe the floor with us? In the second leg we more than outplayed them by going at them. Two defensive midfielders means very little coming through the middle. Joaquin would alleviate this a bit and give us width, but with only one striker everything but the best crosses will be cut out by decent defending. Anyway, there's no point arguing about formation as even people who attend the recent matches can't decide what formation we play, which I think says quite a lot. Ed ------------------------ Yahoo!
