Yeah, thats more of what I saw, maybe I read your previous post wrong but it read like the midfielders were going wide while the wingers were coming central.

Lets hope your prediction that "if 2 sit, we will be shit" is wrong. Because if Scholes plays with Carrick, that's what will most likely happen. SAF has rarely fielded Scholes in a 4-3-3 this season, when Scholes and Carrick play we usually go 4-2-3-1. I don't see any problem with this as long as Tevez plays with Rooney. But that would mean Hargreaves plays on the right or not at all. Wow, it's going to be interesting to see the line-up, some very tough decisions for SAF regarding personel and system. Avram Grants job is easy in comparison Chelsea's formation is always the same and the team picks itself.
