Completely unrelated but where is the ITK discussion thread. Can't find one for some reason!

I guess thats the best team we could have put out, Pienaar and Corluka are clearly off. When VDV starts to burn out around the 60th minute, I really hope Arry puts on Kranjcar and actually revert to 4-4-2.

After our lucky escape at Swansea, and Big Martin's boys doing us a favour last night, the lads will be well up for this game. Hope we're up & at it right from the off, an early goal to ease all our nerves. 3 pts is sooo important tonight COYS.

Not sure I like the balance of that team. How is Harry going to set them out do people think?

442?

Friedel
Walker Gallas Kaboul BAE
VdV Sandro Modric Bale
Ade Defoe​

I think I'd prefer a kind of 4-2-3-1:

Friedel
Walker Gallas Kaboul BAE
Sandro Modric
Defoe VdV Bale
Ade​

Someone said 4-3-3, but I can't quite see how that works? Too many forwards surely? Unless VdV drops back into the first three...?

I was thinking before the teams came out that Van Der Vaart on the right may not be that bad considering Chris Brunt has been ruled out - he's the main threat for them down the left.

Defoe loves scoring against West Brom...reckon he'll get at least a brace tonight.

Basically the same as a 4-4-2 though, it just depends on whether you're looking at the team when its attacking or when its defending really!

Personally though, I'd like a 4-3-3, with VDV in the "lampard" role. He likes dropping deep anyway to get involved.

Sandro is going to have to be very disciplined on the ball tonight to compensate for VDV being on the right.
