AVB is committed to playing 4-2-3-1, and I certainly believe there is enough evidence that it works across the top flight competitions. The issue is the apparent failure to understand that you need a true holding midfielder in the two, and width from true attacking wingers in the 3. Failing to play either one of Sandro or Capoue is simply stupid, and playing our wingers in inverted roles is a mystery to me. Couple these two issues with a £26m striker who doesn't want to find space, and you have the problem identified.

Contrary to what people say, we certainly don't need Coentrao. Rose is a fantastic player, and Chiriches is also as good at LB as CB. Why AVB doesn't play Chirchices LB, Vertonghen & Kaboul CB and Walker RB is a mystery to me.

In the two it is obvious Sandro holding, and Paulinho in a more offensive role. Then play Townsend LM, Dembele CAM and Lennon RM. Please remember Dembele was an attacking midfield come striker before he joined us. Encouraging him to attack their back line and shoot on sight would transform his game. He seems to effortlessly glide past players into the opponents box, and then freeze or pass his responsibilities. Playing behind the striker will show the world what a superstar he is. With Lennon and Townsend on their correct feet, encouraged to take on full backs and cross the ball, I am certain we would terrorise defences again.

My only concern is Soldado, but with Adebayor seemingly gone, we have to support him.

January signings will not happen, as we have the tools to do the job. Adebayor will leave for Besiktas and by this time we will already be in the driving seat for Champions League football.


The oracle returns.
Just in time for the January window.


If it is him then I welcome him back. His posts are a good read.
