Basically:

____*____*
__*___*____*

*_____*______*
____*_____*

In our case that might look like:

_________Saha Straq
____Drenthe Cahill Osman
Baines ____Fellaini ____Coleman
_______Distin Jagielka

I'm not especially advocating it, I'm just raising it as a talking point. I think there are pros and cons to it. What do you reckon?

I've heard of it recently. I think Arsenal use a variation of it. It seems to have come into the news because Southampton have been doing really well with it.

In the old days they used to play 2 at the back, 3 midfielders, 5 up front, and **** like that, so probably, yeah!
