Given that they play 3 AMs floating, i would have preferred sticking livermore in and taking off VDV or Bale

I am thinking thank fuk you are not the manager because that is just ridiculous. Bale is one of our most effective attackers and as we are ready without Ade you would be effectively castrating us. And if you do not play VDV you would be playing Defoe upfront on his own. Dude WTF?
Strongest players do not always make the strongest team, sometimes you just have to counteract what the opposition does. Don't necessarily think he's picked the wrong team today, but you can't always have the attitude that you have to play your best players
Except tearing us a new arsehole at the Lane where he managed 3 assists and a great performance you mean?
Aye and we used to play a very good offensive team under Ossie. Didn't help our defence at all. Like I say, the team is right for today, mainly because I think they are weak defensively, but sometimes you can't always go in with that attitude. Our defenders cannot make a mistake today though.
Ah I meant Lennon not Bale.
My view is, that you should never be allowed to get outnumbered in midfield. Especially against teams who have the ability to pass it around you. Its fine against blackburn as they wouldn't really pass it around you but against City we can get punished immediately.
