I reckon the situation dictates the decisions. Villa is rubbish...play two out and out wingers...almost a 4-3-3.
Rom is not getting help...needs support. Bring on a striker who is best when he's supporting.
Good opponent...go with a more conservative defensive minded left side with Clev who offers Pienaaresque ability going forward.
The logic is really not hard to work out.
Lost me here. T-Clev is Mr Ish. He's decent all round but doesn't excel at anything. Pienaar (when 100%) excels at close control, dribbling, drawing fouls and linking up with Baines.
I can understand T-Clev purely being played on a graft stand point but Kev makes me sex wee. He's arrogant, confident and skillful and has stats (when actually played) to back it all up. I like it when a team can't just shut up shop one side and lol all day while we lack anything resembling ideas.
Kone is a joke as he offers nothing. Wanders around and goes to stand by Rom. If the ball can't make it down the right wing we're boned as he's a chocolate fireguard and should be punted to the moon by Farhad.
