I am of the mind that a good old fashioned 4-4-2 could be the right line up for this, and would like our captain to play in what I think is his best position, right back ( It was TS who apparently promised to play him at CB yeah not Garde)
Guzan
Richards, Okore, Clark, Hutton (This is the best back 4 I can think of)
Sinclair, Gana, Sanchez, Gil (some pace and creativity out wide, some steel and energy in the middle) please note the word 'some'
Ayew Gestede (Some aerial threat in the box and from crosses and a potential 'okay' partnership- we need goals)
Prediction, a nervy 1-0 win to the Villa...deflection
